Scarred
Prince Tristan Faasa was never meant to rule. Cast in the shadow of his older brother, Michael, the cruel new king of Gloria Terra, Tristan bides his time and plots to take the crown he believes he deserves. His scheme runs into an obstacle he never anticipated: Lady Sara Beatreaux, Michael's betrothed — a woman with her own hidden agenda to bring the whole Faasa line to ruin.
Thrown together at court, Tristan and Sara circle each other with suspicion and contempt, each certain the other is a threat. But contempt curdles into something hotter and far more dangerous, and as their loyalties and desires collide, both must decide how much they're willing to sacrifice for revenge — and for each other.
Scarred is the second book in Emily McIntire's bestselling Never After series, a dark, steamy reimagining that gives fairy-tale and classic villains their own twisted romances. This installment takes its cues from The Lion King.
The overlooked prince plotting for the throne; the story's Scar.
The king's betrothed, with a secret agenda of her own.
Tristan's cruel brother and the reigning king.
Each book in the series functions as a complete standalone with its own unique characters and plot, so you can read them in any order without missing essential context.
The stories are not direct retellings of the original fairy tales but rather use them as loose thematic inspiration, incorporating occasional names and nods to the source material while establishing entirely new storylines.
