Bride of the Shadow King

by Sylvia Mercedes

Our rating

Spice 2/5 Darkness 2/5

Spice: mild. Darkness: some dark moments.

The shunned princess nobody notices gets picked as the Shadow King's bride instead of her golden sister, and goes off to a fae kingdom that may not want her either. More yearning than heat, and very soft-hearted for a book with this title.
