A bride. A curse. A love that will shake a kingdom.
Talia's promise of a happy future is stolen the night her landlord's cruelty shatters her dreams. To save her family from ruin, she will be forced into a marriage with the very man who betrayed her. But just as all hope seems lost, a mysterious stranger offers a surprising bargain: marry him instead, and he'll free her family from the landlord's grasp.
Desperate for a solution, Talia agrees. In a whirlwind, Talia is swept into a marriage with Rafael, a fae who seems determined to remain distant from his bride. As she leaves behind the life she knew, Talia enters a world of magic, deception, and danger, where every truth she uncovers about her husband only deepens the mystery of his intentions. Despite what he did for her, Rafael is no savior—he is a tormented soul, bound to secrets that could cost her everything.
Determined to get to know her elusive fae husband, Talia learns that to get close to him is to flirt with death itself. But the truth is so much more complicated than she ever imagined, and true love isn't something that comes easily—she must fight for it, and risk losing everything.
The Starlit Prince is an immersive fantasy romance inspired by the Spanish fairytale The Lily and the Bear. This no-spice retelling blends Beauty and the Beast vibes with the longing of star-crossed love. Perfect for fans of dark fairytales, complex characters, and hard-won happily ever afters.
