The Shadow Prince …. Stacey O’Neale
Description:
Every sacrifice has consequences.
Sixteen-year-old Rowan has spent most of his life living among the mortalsโlearning to control the element of fire, impatiently awaiting the day his vengeful mother, Queen Prisma, will abdicate her throne. When he finally returns to Avalon for his coronation, his mother insists he must first prove his loyalty to the court by completing a secret mission:
Kill Kalin, the half-human, half-elemental daughter of the air court king.
Willing to do anything to remove his mother from power, he agrees to sacrifice the halfling. He returns to the mortal world with his best friend, Marcus, determined to kill the princess. But as he devises a plan, he starts to question whether or not heโs capable of completing such a heinous task. And what price he will pay if he refuses?
Review:
When I was asked to read this novella, it was free on amazon.
This is the beginning of the adventure. And for a beginning, Iโm pretty pleased I was asked to read it.
It keeps at a steady pace, and doesnโt introduce too many people into the story too quick. The characters are very 3 dimensional, and I love the story from Rowanโs perspective.
His fight with right and wrong in his world, is something that most people can relate to. Loved his friend/slave, their friendship was put through the wringer a few times. Its a great way to start a series, and I canโt wait to read the next story.
