About this audiobook
A princess cursed by silence. A prince bound by honor. Together, they must defy fate to save a kingdom. A stand-alone sequel to the Audible Bestselling Darkwood Trilogy.
Princess Catrin Albrecht is a pawn in a dangerous game of court politics, cursed with the loss of her voice and hunted by those who seek to control her magic. When fate throws her in the path of the stoic and honorable Prince Jenson of Fiorland, the two must navigate treacherous waters on a journey of survival, betrayal, and impossible love.
Once Cat returns to court, whispers of murder and dark sorcery fill the air. Shadowed by her conniving cousin Alicia and threatened by a sorceress of immense power, Cat finds herself at the center of a deadly plot that could topple the throne. But with Jenson by her side, they stand a chance to thwart the darkness, if only they can trust each other long enough to fight it.
