A kingdom this empty and cursed (Kingdom of Lies #2)
Par Stacia Stark. 2023
In a world darkened by deceit, the truth is a light that won't be dimmed—even when it illuminates Lorian's betrayals…
more starkly than I could ever want to see. They call him the Bloodthirsty Prince. His reign of terror has left a trail of blood across this continent, a trail that intertwines with my own past—not even my parents were spared from his merciless slaughter. To save my brother's life, I agreed to another bargain with the fae prince. Now, I'm forced to work with him, to travel to the fae lands, to spend my every waking moment with the man who betrayed me. All because King Sabium has woven a deadly tapestry of manipulation, using those we least suspect for his wicked schemes. There are no lines I won't cross to protect the people I love. So I'll work with former enemies. I'll manipulate, blackmail, and deceive potential allies. I'll swallow my pride, bury my shattered heart, and cooperate with the fae to prepare for the coming war. Because there are creatures far more monstrous than the fae—and some of them masquerade as men. Book two of this slow-burn enemies-to-lovers series will enchant fans of fantasy romance who love Raven Kennedy, Amanda Bouchet, and Carissa BroadbentStarlight (Angels of Elysium #3)

Angelic fact number 100: Having wings doesn't make one noble; it simply makes one fly. Naya and Adam have nothing…
in common. Besides black wings. The same birthday. And fathers who are as close as brothers. But nothing else. Sweet, diligent Naya has always abided by the rules. Arrogant, uncivil Adam has made it his life's mission to break each one. She is the beloved daughter of an archangel. He is the guilds' resident bad boy...well, bad fletching. When Naya thrusts herself into Adam's life to request a place on his clandestine team of guardians, he turns her away. The last thing his unsanctioned squad needs is an archangel's attention, and the last thing he needs is a bubbly, blonde distraction with a sinful voice and soulful eyes. Problem is, Naya suddenly, and inexplicably, becomes the only thing he wants. Fans of steamy enemies to lovers will swoon for this trilogy finaleLégendes d'Ashur-Sîn: 6, Cinn
