A wealthy prince burdened by the weight of his royal duties. A determined reporter relentlessly chasing her next breaking story. An electrifying night of desire that ignites a scandalous inferno. I’m Prince Stellan, known to the world as the handsome heir to the Danish throne. I’m serious, studious, and single. I bear the heavy weight of my family’s expectations and every single move I make is mobbed by the press. So when I have the chance to go incognito for a night of partying in New York City, I jump at it. Desperate for a brief escape, I venture into the enigmatic realm of an underground nightclub. Surrounded by the pulsating lights and rhythmic beats, my gaze locks onto Margot. She’s a mesmerizing beauty with vivid pink hair and a fierce glint in her eyes. Her spirited nature and alluring dance moves captivate me instantly. The chemistry between us is insane from the beginning. I know that I can’t court Margot seriously. She’s a commoner. And even worse, she’s an American. My family expects me to choose a noble Danish bride. So I lie about my identity and bring her back to my hotel for a night that neither of us will ever forget. In the morning, before I can sneak Margot out of my hotel room, the paparazzi invade. Soon, the secret of my royal lineage is revealed. But the real stunner comes from pretty little Margot. She’s a reporter for a New York City newspaper who has stumbled onto what could be a huge story about a playboy prince. Bad press is the last thing I need right now. So I offer Margot a deal. A prestigious job in Copenhagen and a luxurious stipend, in exchange for pretending to follow me around for a months’ long lifestyle article.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had to hide who I am. What I am. They had me play the sheep. They had me blend in. They marked me and sealed my power. Now I have my freedom, because everyone who’s ever wanted me confined is dead. I could have changed it. I could have altered the course of fate. I could have saved the unseelie queen. I didn’t. Vlari has always known her place: as far away from court as the unseelie queen can send her. The youngest royal, born in an impoverished household, she endeavored to earn her keep as an assistant and stay out of trouble. Dark, striking, and with a hidden agenda, Drusk definitely qualifies as trouble, but he refuses to leave her alone, clashing with her at every corner. Then the world implodes around her. With friends and foe by her side, she can fade with rest of the unseelie kingdom, or protect a court that has never cared for her. Disclaimer: Wicked Court is the first volume in a duet.

"An intricate magic system, a grimly humorous Black heroine, AND a heart-thumping romance? This book leaves nothing wanting." - Jordan Ifueko, New York Times bestselling author of Raybearer Andromeda is a debtera—an exorcist hired to cleanse households of the Evil Eye. She would be hired, that is, if her mentor hadn’t thrown her out before she could earn her license. Now her only hope of steady work is to find a Patron—a rich, well-connected individual who will vouch for her abilities. When a handsome young heir named Magnus Rorschach reaches out to hire her, she takes the job without question. Never mind that he’s rude and demanding and eccentric, that the contract comes with a number of outlandish rules... and that almost a dozen debtera had quit before her. If Andromeda wants to earn a living, she has no choice. But she quickly realizes this is a job like no other, with horrifying manifestations at every turn, and that Magnus is hiding far more than she has been trained for. Death is the most likely outcome if she stays, the reason every debtera before her quit. But leaving Magnus to live out his curse alone isn’t an option because—heaven help her—she’s fallen for him. Stunningly romantic, Lauren Blackwood's heartstopping debut, Within These Wicked Walls, ushers in an exciting new fantasy voice. "Fierce, eerie and heartfelt... a romantic and spine-chilling reimagining of a classic. I loved every creepy, swoon-worthy moment of it." - Laura E. Weymouth, author of The Light Between Worlds
