The Dread Prince - by Lauren Cate Leake (Paperback)

About the Book

The Dread Prince and his deadly second in command navigate their own pride and fear as the world they once knew is long gone. As darkness takes root in their new Magical world, how far will they go to save the other?

Book Synopsis

Magic is different in the Dread Lands. Magic is deceptive in the Dread Lands.

At last, The Dread Prince takes the throne and begins to develop his own army while battling the darkness that still lurks in the ancient and deadly Dread Lands. Maeve is grieving a great loss as Mal slips into darker and darker Magic, driving a wedge between them. War looms with the other realms, and Maeve and Mal question the dragon-shifting High Lord of Aterna's loyalty to their cause.

The sequel to The Dread Descendant brings you further into Maeve and Mal's world of darkness.

Review Quotes

"This book is intense, unpredictable, and unapologetically fierce." -Danielle, Goodreads

"If Melissa K Roerich, JK Rowling, and Sarah J Maas had a baby it would be this book. Take the darkness from the Legacy Series, the magic from Harry Potter, and the romantasy portion of ACOMAF and you get this book." -Sally, Goodreads

"The characters develop throughout the book to be morally black, and this book forces you to consider how far you would go for something or someone you love. Is that something or someone worth risking everything you know, possibly even yourself?" -Madi, Amazon

"The Dread Prince took this series to the next level. It's darker, more emotional, the magic is more complex, and as the story progresses you are uncovering the truth in real time through the characters." -Alexis, Goodreads

"Where book one was written for the Tom Riddle girlies, this one feels like it was written for the Sauron girlies." -Abigail, Goodreads

"The author was not kidding when she said this one was going to be DARK. I'm in awe of the world-building and the magical world that she has created and built up in this second book." -Sally, Amazon

"This book is darker, more intense, and more emotionally charged than The Dread Descendant, The twists are gut-wrenching, the stakes are much higher." Trinity, Amazon
