About this ebook

‘A special, unforgettable series... Lush. Brutal. Unparalleled.’ – Sarah J. Maas

Damen is a warrior hero to his people, and the rightful heir to the throne of Akielos. But when his half-brother seizes power, Damen is captured, stripped of his identity, and sent to serve the prince of an enemy nation as a pleasure slave.

Beautiful, manipulative, and deadly, his new master, Prince Laurent, epitomises the worst of the court at Vere. But in the lethal political web of the Veretian court, nothing is as it seems, and when Damen finds himself caught up in a play for the throne, he must work together with Laurent to survive and save his country.

For Damen, there is just one rule: never, ever reveal his true identity. Because the one man Damen needs is the one man who has more reason to hate him than anyone else . . .

If you’re looking for an addictive slow-burn romantasy with great characterisation and world-building, the Captive Prince series is sure to be your new obsession.

Pacat's writing and worldbuilding are exquisite. She has put so much thought and effort into crafting an intriguing story that kept me on the edge of my seat.

Fantastic read, binge read this one and Prince's Gambit. Counting the hours until Kings Rising! Very highly recommended.
