Description

From USA Today Bestselling Author Holly Renee, comes the second book in the scorching romantasy series with enthralling secrets, impassioned enemies, and luring tension. Verena was the lost princess of Marmoris, the very thing we had spent our entire lives looking for, and I had let her go.The lingering taste of her mixed with the deep ache in my chest over her betrayal haunted my days and nights. I knew she was hiding something, but her secrets were far more treacherous than I could have imagined.Though I wished my own betrayal hadn’t been so bitter on my tongue.Now my dreams are haunted with the way her deep blue eyes looked up at me in shock when I revealed I knew her truth.The way I crave for her to look at me now as I hunt for her.Me, along with half of the rebellion.If my father finds her before me, there is no telling what he will do to her.And even though she’s the little traitor I’d always thought she was, I couldn’t allow him to find her.But his orders were clear. The princess is to be taken by the rebellion or she would be taken by the gods. I don’t know which is worse.She is the heir to our kingdom, the daughter of the cruel king who was responsible for my mother’s death, and the key to winning our rebellion.I vowed to my father that I would find her, the one person I wish I didn’t have to.Verena is the hunted heir. But more than anything, she is mine. Read more

  • Forbidden Romance & Adventure & Political Intrigue, Oh My!
Format: Kindle
The Hunted Heir dives straight into the action, picking up where the jaw-dropping cliffhanger ending of The Veiled Kingdom left off—damn you, Dacre. The pulse-pounding adventure and sizzling romance will leave you breathless, furiously turning pages, and staying up way past your bedtime. And speaking of romance—buckle up, baby, because you are in for one hell of a ride. Verena is on the run once more. Barely escaping the hidden city and Dacre's stunning betrayal—which still lingers like an open wound—she must alone navigate Marmoris' treacherous landscape. Her true identity as the princess is no longer a secret; the rebellion is closing in, and her father's soldiers scour the kingdom, intent on capturing her. With no one to trust, Verena knows only two things for certain: she's a hunted woman, and her only hope for survival lies in reaching the ocean on the southern coast. She must find a ship and escape Marmoris before the rebellion, the king, or Dacre find her. For Dacre, letting Verena escape has created a maelstrom of problems. The lost princess, the rightful heir to Marmoris, is now a traitor—and he set her free. His father is hell-bent on exploiting Verena to further his own ambitions with the king, but Dacre's allegiance to the rebellion and his father is faltering. His need to protect Verena, his little traitor, burns hotter with every passing moment. Logic dictates he should despise her, yet he'll stop at nothing to keep her safe from the forces closing in around them. Holly Renee's writing is as captivating as ever, drawing you into a world of magic, political intrigue, and forbidden love. But what truly makes The Hunted Heir shine is the characters. Verena is a strong, complex heroine, desperate to find freedom and protect those she cares about. Dacre is a brooding, passionate hero, struggling to reconcile the loyalty he should have to his father's rebellion and his intense feelings for Verena. Their relationship is fraught with tension, and their chemistry is off the charts—a delicious mix of anger, passion, and hurt that adds depth to their already complicated relationship and makes every scene they share sizzle. With all that said, I wish the book had been longer. I devoured it in a few hours and was left wanting more. The cliffhanger ending DESTROYED me. First, I was sobbing uncontrollably, then I stared blankly at a wall for a bit, and now I'm partially dead inside. But even after being emotionally scarred (again—this woman and her cliffhangers), Queen Holly has cemented my devotion to this series. I need to know what happens to Verena and Dacre. Can they overcome their pasts and forge a future together? Luckily, The Rivaled Crown, book 3 in The Veiled Kingdom series, is coming to a Kindle near you on March 18, 2025. Would I recommend it? Absolutely! But only if you've read the first book in the series. With its captivating characters, breakneck plot, and STEAMY romance, The Hunted Heir will entertain and delight you. Be prepared for a wild ride full of twists and turns, a healthy dose of angsty groveling, and a major cliffhanger ending that will leave you desperate to know what happens next. NOTE: The Hunted Heir is the sequel to The Veiled Kingdom and the second book in Holly Renee's Veiled Kingdom series. To avoid spoilers, this series must be read in order. Thank you to Valentine PR, and of course, Holly Renee for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. ... show more

  • I need more! Can’t wait for book 3
Format: Kindle
4.5 to 5 stars ⭐️ Considering it had been about 130 days since I read The Veiled Kingdom, I really wanted to savor The Hunted Heir. However, the cliffhanger from TVK made me consume this book. It completely surpassed my expectations. Holly Renee knows how to constantly deliver action using masterful writing that transports the reader right into the story. I appreciated that the author dove more into building the enchanting world that Dacre and Verena are fighting to survive in. With book 2, Holly Renee has complicated the two-sided world of kingdom vs rebellion. Right from the start, readers can expect character growth along with views on what the corruption of power and greed looks like from both sides. Verena’s feelings on trust and her effort to understand the world around her (as well as her place in it) is very relatable. Holly Renee’s description of a sorrow caused by a loss that never heals is poetic. Her writing about the cost of power and greed is truthful. The author writes in a very understanding way. I never feel overwhelmed by any of the world building and terminology used. I would love to see more world building actually. A couple of things that could be furthered explained are the religious systems, kingdom histories, and surrounding countries or lands. However, the storyline was not lacking without this information. I throughly enjoyed what we did learn in book 2 and suspect there will be more world building in book 3. The spice and romance between the FMC and MMC was just right. Not over done but not lacking. It fit my preference. I’m deeply invested in the characters and cannot wait for the final book in the trilogy! NOTE!!!!! Be sure to read the trigger warnings. There are topics that could be sensitive to some readers. ... show more

  • On the run
Format: Kindle
Verena is on the run from both the rebellion and the king’s men, but which is worse if the catch up to her? Dacre did the only thing he could when he father discovered Verena’s identity, he made it seem like he hated her and kicked her out. It was the only way he could protect her. Now she is out in the wilds, being hunted, alone, and powerless. He must find her before anyone else does. This had a much better pace than The Veiled Kingdom. There was a lot more action, though it was still semi slow. Verena is at war with her own emotions. She doesn’t know who she can trust and no matter how hard she tries, she can’t stop wanting Dacre. The love hate relationship these two have is something else. They are like magnets, drawn to each other but being stuck together drives them insane. I became much more invested towards the end of the story, however, the way Dacre was speaking just didn’t seem like it was consistent with him from the rest of the story. All in all, 3.5 stars ... show more
