Prince Sloth would rather stay in his enchanted library than anywhere else, which becomes impossible once a forgotten deity starts threatening the structure of the Underworld.
He needs the Book of Nightmares before it can free the Goddess of Night, and one betrayal later he is marked, hunted and short of options. Lore Brimstone, a librarian who reads her way out of everything, visits a travelling caravan and finds herself dropped into a world that resembles her favourite novels rather too closely. The two of them work through a story that keeps rewriting itself around them, and Kerri Maniscalco keeps the romance and the peril moving at the same speed. This is a standalone fantasy romance, so no prior reading is required.
What the volume offers:
• Standalone fantasy romance from the author of the Kingdom of the Wicked series
• Quest structure built around a dangerous book and an ancient deity
• Two bookish leads, one reluctant prince and one librarian
• Blends adventure pacing with a central romantic arc
