House of Pounding Hearts : Olivia Wildenstein : 9781948463751 : 194846375X : 29 Jan 2023 : I MEANT TO CAPTURE THE PRINCE'S HEART . . . AND ENDED UP WITH A KING'S. My desire to sit upon the Lucin throne led me to revive an ancient, winged monarch; one I deemed a friend until that friend duped and imprisoned me. Lorcan claims he's holding me captive for my own safety, but then he also claims I belong to him. Slumbering for five centuries has evidently given the Crow King severe delusions. We may share an unfortunate mind-link, but we are still masters of our own destiny, and I intend to steer mine away from the Sky Kingdom and its prophecies . . . away from him. I quickly find out there is no escaping the possessive male. In all honesty, I'm no longer certain I want to. Get swept away in the second installment of a slow-burn shifter fantasy series full of heartbreaking deceit, wicked supernaturals, and alpha males. *contains mature content. Recommended for 18+
