Nightshade: Shadowed Embers Book #2 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798992918236)

Slade's entire life went up in flames the moment that she kissed him. He'd already known he would burn the world for her even before that. And after that? He would have killed anyone who tried to take her from him. What he didn't know, though, was that it was all built on a lie.

He didn't fall for a fire mage... He fell for a princess-and he knew one thing with certainty: A halfblood bastard was absolutely not a suitable match for a queen. The only problem was, he didn't know how he would ever let her go.

Liza had given up on regaining her throne, and fallen happily into her shadow's arms as if she had been meant to be there all along. She felt more at home in the country she'd been taught to fear than she ever had in her mother's royal prison. But when an opportunity to prove herself and reclaim her throne was presented to her, she couldn't turn away from it-even if it meant she might lose him.

They stepped through the portal to earth having no idea just what they were walking into. The mage they found was just as vicious as she was powerful, and her need for vengeance knew no bounds. Only the goddess could save them now.
