What to expect
They stole my throne and stood by while I was taken captive. To reclaim my crown, I must trust my worst enemy.
When I wake up in a coffin after the worst Clan wedding in Malhaven’s history, vengeance is the only thing keeping me alive.
But the world I claw back into is colder than death.
My father, the leader of the Protectorate Clan, is dead. My uncle sits on the throne meant for me.
I’ve been taken to a brutal, frozen land ruled by the ruthless Commander, a man as terrifying as he is magnetic.
He’s a legend drenched in blood and shadows—and, perhaps, the only one strong enough to match the storm rising inside of me.
To win back my crown, I must do the unthinkable and ally myself with the Blood Brotherhood, the enemy Clan I was raised to hate.
But the more time I spend with my infuriating enemy, the more the lines between duty and desire blur beyond my control.
His powers are dangerous. But I fear what his heated whispers do to me even more.
As our tentative alliance turns to something deeper, the secret he’s hiding could break the continent, the Clan world we want to rule—and my heart.
A Dagger of Ice and Intrigue is book one in the second duology of the A Curse of Silver Secrets and Cruel Shadows series. It’s a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romantasy where banter is a love language and secrets can kill. The series starts out hot and only gets hotter as the mystery grows.
In the War of the Clans, which side will you choose? #ProtectorateVSBloodBrotherhood
Each duology of The Curse of Silver Secrets and Cruel Shadows fantasy romance series can be listened to as a standalone, but to enjoy the full mystery. I suggest you listen to the books in order.
