Steel and Stone: The Curse of the Stone Keep (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781736804247)

Stolen by Hades, cursed apart... Can her prince reclaim Aurora's heart?A princess with a secret and a cursed kingdom to save.

A deadly sickness has ravaged Princess Aurora's kingdom, killing her parents and leaving the land cursed.

To save her people, she must journey to the perilous Netherworld and beseech aid from Prince Hades, sinister ruler of the Realm of Death. No one has ever escaped his shadowy domain.

Trapped on Hades' island, Aurora must outwit the dangerous prince to lift the curse.

But the greatest risk she faces isn't entrapment-it's losing her heart to Death himself.

A prince with a broken heart and an undying love to reclaim.

When Aurora broke Prince Phillip's heart seven years ago, he vowed never to set foot in her kingdom. Now his return becomes vital as the threat of war arises in the Kingdom of Stonewall.

Upon his arrival, chaos ensues. A dark god has kidnapped Aurora and whisked her away to the Netherworld. Phillip will need his Captain's help, as they plunge into the Realm of Death on a journey riddled with dangers-the worst of which is facing Prince Hades, fearsome ruler of the Netherworld.

Will Phillip's valiant heart be enough to win Aurora back from the clutches of Death?

What readers are saying about Ash and Snow, Book 1 in the Cursed Kingdoms series:

"I loved this book! I'm so sad it's over. A gripping tale from the start, this was a fantastic twist on Snow White. You'll find lots of daring adventure, friendship, and romance. There's even some overlap and mention of familiar characters from other fairytales! Luckily this is the first book in the series and more will come!"

Bookbub Reviewer

"This was a true roller-coaster ride of emotions for me. One minute your down then you're up. It has drama, intrigue, sexual tension, and some giggles and even though it does have a HEA, it's bittersweet.

Bookbub Reviewer

This was a fantastic read and I'm so glad I gave it a shot! It's just as good as Silvana S疣chez's Unnatural Brethren series and her Vesely Academy series."

Goodreads Reviewer

"I really enjoyed this book. One of the things I always look for is well-developed characters and I felt that these characters had depth and personality. I liked their interactions and they felt real. The story was interesting and believable. It made me want more. I can't wait for the next book in the series!"

Goodreads Reviewer

"Wow - this is an interesting Snow White retelling with a morally grey female main character in Maleath Snow, The Seven - mages, not dwarves, a mystery guy, and of course the Evil Queen and her Huntsman."
