A Kingdom This Cursed and Empty – by Stacia Stark
Book 2 in the Kingdom of Lies Series

Risk everything for your kingdom… or be destroyed by it.

In a shadowed world where truth cuts deeper than any blade, betrayal burns brighter than ever. Lorian, the infamous Bloodthirsty Prince, has left a path of ruin that reaches into my very past — where no one, not even my family, was spared his cruelty.

To save my brother, I’ve made a dangerous pact with the fae prince. Now, I’m bound to work alongside the very man who broke me, forced into the treacherous fae lands and caught in a web of manipulation spun by King Sabium himself.

There are no rules left — only survival. I’ll ally with enemies, weave schemes of blackmail and deceit, and bury my pride beneath the weight of war.

Because in this realm, the greatest monsters aren’t always fae… sometimes they wear the faces of men.
