Myra has spent years hiding-in servitude of the now imprisoned Queen Amelia, and from a lineage she never wanted. Now that she is freed from Amelia's clutches, Myra is ready for a new start, but the echoes of the past, and the truth of who she is-a direct descendant of Stula, the goddess of death-will only disrupt the peace she wants to find in the kingdom of Oxare. The kingdom is beautiful, as is the handsome prince Alvis and though his offer to join him at the Golden Palace is tempting, Myra is determined to make her own way. But when a life on her own becomes too difficult, Myra is forced to accept Alvis' offer and lands in the thick of a plot to free Queen Amelia. To keep the entire realm and her people safe, Myra and Alvis must find out who among the Golden Palace court is the betrayer before Amelia escapes. But with each passing day Myra feels her connection to Alvis growing stronger, and her past continues to haunt her. Can they protect the kingdom and each other, before Amelia takes her revenge and Alvis finds out the truth? Fans of Sarah J Maas, Hannah Whitten, and Emma Hamm will love this magical Cinderella retelling and follow up to The Night's Chosen!

Spoiler-Free Review:
I'd like to thank the author for an ARC of this book! Life got a little wild this past week, so I am just getting around to finishing and reviewing this book. This is book 2 in The Cursed Queens series, and it follows the events of book 1, The Night's Chosen. This story, however, is told from two new points of view- Alvis and Myra. Myra is a trying to find her purpose after being freed from Amelia's clutches and finds herself as a servant in the The Golden Palace. Alvis is a prince whose parents are pressuring him to marry after the events of book 1. This is a Cinderella retelling, and the way it is done is so unique. E.E. Hornburg has a great ability to spin a fairytale, and I think I can sense what fairytale she will tackle next. This is a friends to lovers romance that delivers on the steam! I can't wait to read the next book in this series and find out where everything is going! This book is an adult fantasy romance, 18+ for sexual content
