Recently, I have been accepted as one of the Into the Dark Series Ambassadors, and I will be sharing exclusive teaser content over the next several weeks. Today, I have an excerpt to share from The Shadow Prince by Bree Despain.
About The Shadow Prince
Find it: Goodreads
From Bree Despain, the fan-favorite author of The Dark Divine trilogy, comes her highly anticipated second young adult series: a contemporary adventure inspired by the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades.
Haden Lord, the disgraced prince of the Underrealm, has been sent to the mortal world for six months in order to convince Daphne Raines to return with him to the land of the dead.
The best way to do this, Haden is told, is to get Daphne to fall in love with him. But getting a teenage girl to fall in love with you isn’t easy, especially when Haden’s life and more depends on the success of his quest. Little does he know that the tenuous peace between the Greek god of the Underrealm and the Greek god of the Sky is breaking and war is imminent.
If Haden succeeds, his honor and standing will be restored in the royal court, and Daphne will be sacrificed to save us all.
The complication he didn’t see coming: he’s the one who falls in love.
Now Haden must choose to either fulfill his sacred duty or to follow his heart and find a way to rewrite his and Daphne’s destinies.
