Shadow Princess
Quotes from the Book
This was my favourite kind of weather. Raining carnage.
Can we get a round of applause for the fact that we didn’t ruin cakes for anyone in this one?
I ache for you in the dark and pine for you in the light. There’s no moment day or night that I don’t want you. It’s more than desire, I think it’s even more than love. Fuck, Rosalie, if you weren’t an Oscura, if there was some other way-
Well, payback really was a bitch. And she had nothing on Rosalie Oscura.
Please, if I spent my life letting fate decide my life for me, I'd be dead and buried a long time ago.
Officer Cain pushed through the door at that moment and I saw red
Shadowbrook to the rescue.
But I'd stay in Darkmore for the rest of my life if this was the only place where you were too.
I dropped his hand and let him suffer for a few moments longer, savouring his agony as I thought of what he’d tried to make my girl do. Fuck, my girl? Since when was she my girl? She wasn’t my anything. She hated me.
Look at you playing the gentleFae," I teased as I took a seat opposite him and he smirked at me. "I can promise you I don't fuck like one," he growled in a tone that totally carried but I didn't care.
My own, personal obsession. My drug of choice, the answer to all of my desires rolled up into one little, Faetalian ball of danger. I think you might be my downfall, wild girl. But I think I like the idea of that too.
We were about to get naked," Sin explained. "So either strip down or fuck off, yeah?
I mean sure, everyone knew the story of what had happened to the last person to try and force the stars to change their mind on fate and I did not want to take the Darius Acrux route. I shuddered at the mere thought of what had happened to him and I wondered if he was up there somewhere thinking the sacrifice he'd made had been worth it.
Dick rot is a genuine thing, you don’t need to look it up.
I’d come all this way to save him. I’d only taken this job because of him. The Lion who had stolen my heart before he even knew I existed and had become so much more than a perfect fantasy to me.
By Sunday. And it's not like I had any reason to keep you updated," Cain spat back bitterly. "Maybe you should have let me in on this little plan of yours if you were going to rely on my help so heavily.
I mean it," Cain snarled. "We switched on the new bioweapon today. There’s a magical forcefield beneath the ground surrounding the entire prison. If you pass through it, you're dead.
A worm lunged at him from behind, its monstrous mouth closing around his legs. He screamed wildly and I shouted out in horror, diving forward and catching hold of his hand, dropping the shank in my desperation to save him.
Of course she was playing you, you fucking idiot," Ethan growled. "What else did you think it was? You can’t have seriously thought she liked you?
What the-" I began, but before I could complete that thought, a hard body crashed into me and I was the one screaming as I was lifted clean off of my feet and carried straight towards the hole which led back to the library.
Holy shit!" I cursed then shoved more of the bricks aside and climbed into the passage, using my Vampire speed to chase after the culprit.
A puddle of something dark and red seeped out of an aisle to my left.
Another tremor made my heart judder and Plunger suddenly leapt backwards just before a huge worm sliced across the path in front of him, tearing a huge tunnel into the ground.
Oh my, there's a bit of a tingle in the rock up here," Plunger called. "What do you mean?" I asked, but I felt it too as I passed through a ring of dark rock and a tingle trickled through my skin. "What is that?
So by the fucking moon, where the hell was Sin Wilder?
I turned as footsteps sounded behind me and Gustard arrived with three of his men in tow who were all huge and built of pure muscle.

About the book
I came here with a single goal in mind. An aim. A purpose. I will break out of Darkmore Penitentiary.
But I was a fool to think that it would be so simple.
And now with more and more Fae relying on me to get them out of this slice of hell, I find myself unable to do a damn thing.
Mason Cain stabbed me in the back and left me to rot in the dark. So now I have another goal in mind before I escape this place, because no one messes with the Queen of the Oscura Clan and lives to tell the tale. The moment I get out of here, my sights will be set on him.
Between the four alpha males luring me in, the psychopaths trying to kill me and the monster roaming the halls at night, I have my hands full in here.
But one thing is for sure.
I’m not throwing my life away in this place. So I’ll do whatever it takes to escape.
This is a dark, hot paranormal romance series where the mai
