Queen of Curses: (The Coren Hart Chronicles Book 2)

A princess must regain her throne… The false king rules with a heavy hand. His soldiers are corrupt and harass both nobles and commoners alike; the royal navy has turned into lawless freebooters; and myst users are mysteriously disappearing. The kingdom’s only hope is for its rightful ruler to be restored.

She must be vindicated…Princess Zofie is falsely blamed for her father’s death-the proof of her guilt seems irrefutable. An ancient artifact, lost for a thousand years, might provide a way to name the true murderer. Following his heart, Coren agrees to the nearly impossible task of helping the princess prove her innocence and reclaim her birthright. But should he fail, Zofie may be forced to forsake her heart and wed the son of a powerful lord.

He must decide…Coren discovers a way to break his deadly curse and become a true candidate for Zofie’s hand. But it requires a bargain with an ancient and powerful creature of myst-something he has been warned never to do. The price is steep: a promise he must keep until he dies, and the risk he will forever lose the one he holds dear.

Some bargains are just too good to pass up…
