Wicked Prince of Mirrors

Wicked Princes Book 1

He’s the kingdom's most dangerous prisoner. She just accidentally helped him escape.

When forbidden magic awakens within Princess Esmira, she knows she must flee—or be executed. Hoping to escape through the palace’s hidden tunnels, she instead discovers a chamber of ancient mirrors. Mist coils. Magic stirs. One touch shatters the glass—and frees Prince Methrin, the Wicked Prince of Mirrors.

Cursed for vanity, bloodshed, and a betrayal that nearly destroyed the realm, Methrin was exiled to the mirrorverse long ago. Now he's back—immortal, furious, and dangerously compelling. He claims the stories are twisted lies, the crown was stolen and the true monster escaped. Only Esmira’s raw, unstable magic can stop it.

Forced to flee together, bound by forbidden magic, Esmira is pulled into a world of illusions, broken prophecy, and a prince who sees through every mask she wears. As their connection deepens, so do the risks—because the monster Methrin once unleashed still haunts the realm… and it’s hunting again.

5) You wanted to share an excerpt of your book. Here is your chance.

Once upon a time, there was a prince so vain, he collected mirrors to preen at his appearance. He gathered them from across the kingdom, mirrors of silver and gold inlaid with crystals, carved with marble, framed in sculpted filigree. His collection turned into an obsession. He had no care for his people and funneled their labor, their coin, into a shrine for himself, a kingdom of silver mirrors and gleaming glass.

The citizens of his kingdom grew desperate, for war pressed at their borders, creatures lurked at their doors, and famine broke out. But there were no armies to fight for them, no king to protect their land.

Someone so selfish, vain, and careless should not rule, so the people plotted to overthrow him and put an end to his greed. They marched upon the palace and called for the prince to come forth.

He did, but when he saw their treachery, a madness overtook him and he summoned something terrible from the mirrors—a monster that would reflect every evil back on the people. Before it could strike, a sorcerer stood up and cursed the prince.

Every mirror he looked at would shatter, and he’d never see his reflection again because he’d be trapped behind the glass, switching places with the monster he’d summoned. He’d live out his days in the mirrorverse until he learned his lesson.

As for the beast, the sorcerer let it escape . . .
