Dead Princess
Synopsis
When impulsive and imperfect Beatrice Wolfe is ripped from her post-high school life and plunged into a treacherous magical world with no mercy and even fewer chances of surviving, she knows her childhood is over. When the hidden world of Eflorencia comes crashing into her life, Bea grabs onto the only people she can trust—the family who has lied to her for nineteen years. With her beloved Uncle Rafe bloodied and missing, the once-orphaned Bea finds her worst fear has become her reality. Driven by terror and fierce loyalty, Bea embarks on a wild hunt to find the one person who has always loved her without trying to change the quirks of her wild imagination, her ADHD, and her unpredictable neurodivergent ways. Bea’s only help and hope is Nic—a dangerously handsome outcast from Eflorencia with a vendetta against the bounty hunters who abducted Rafe. Nic is always one step behind the danger but one step ahead of Bea’s family when he reveals what’s been kept secret from her—everything from an entire hidden realm to her formidable identity. Once Bea learns who she really is, she knows nothing will never be the same, with or without Uncle Rafe by her side. "Dead Princess" is book one in The Tales of Eflorencia. This coming-of-age story is for fantasy readers who devour first kiss butterflies only when tangled in scandalous secrets. Enjoy the entire series, written by USA Today bestselling paranormal romance author Mary E. Twomey.
