Cover Reveal: The Silent Prince by C. J. Brightley

I’m so excited to reveal the next cover for our upcoming fairytale retelling series, Once Upon a Prince!

Okay, but how cool are the tentacles and the gorgeous turquoise colour palette on this one? I’m a sucker (geddit) for Little Mermaid retellings, so this one will be going straight on my TBR!

A cocky mer prince learns the cost of true love in this gender-swapped retelling of The Little Mermaid.

This book is one of twelve in our upcoming series of well-known fairytales retold from the Prince’s point of view. The Silent Prince will be released on 24 November!

Blurb A voiceless prince. A desperate princess. A sham romance that turns heart-breakingly real.

When cocky Mer prince Kaerius impulsively saves the human princess from drowning, he doesn’t expect to fall in love with her. Yet her human fragility is so unexpectedly sweet that he is soon head over tails. So he bargains his voice to the lord of the deep for a chance to court her on land. He’s confident that he can win her affection–he’s irresistible, after all.

But he is a fish out of water in the human world. He didn’t expect it to be so difficult to make Marin appreciate his charms. Her father is ailing, her kingdom is threatened from multiple directions, and she must choose from among several foreign suitors to keep her people free. Thinking Kaerius no more than a mute stranger, she asks him to pose as her suitor to give her leverage with the foreign lords vying for her hand. But not all of them are so easily deterred, and they won’t take no for an answer.


Kaerius will have to show the princess that his love is not just an act, but how can he win her, much less save her, without a word?

The Silent Prince, a retelling of The Little Mermaid, is book 9 of Once Upon a Prince, a multi-author series of clean fairy tale retellings. Each standalone story features a swoony prince fighting for his happily ever after.

We’ll be revealing a new cover every week until all twelve are out in the open, so keep your eyes peeled for more of the Once Upon a Prince series covers!

Cover Reveal: The Midnight Prince by Angie Grigaliunas

I’m so excited to reveal the next cover for our upcoming fairytale retelling series, Once Upon a Prince!

This one is so dreamy and magical, plus it’s a Cinderella retelling, which I think we can all agree is one of the best fairytales!

A crown prince and a servant girl must uncover the secrets and lies that tore them apart to find  a second chance at romance in this retelling of Cinderella.

This book is one of twelve in our upcoming series of well-known fairytales retold from the Prince’s point of view. The Midnight Prince will be released on 27 October!

Blurb A bitter prince. A rejected servant. A revelation that could change everything.

When Prince Kirran of the autumn fey returns home from war, all he wants is food, drink, and sleep. But with his older brothers dead, he’s now the only heir — and he needs a wife. As soon as possible. Which wouldn’t be a problem, except that he’s not over the girl who shattered his heart seven years ago.

Half-human Alia avoids her noble stepfamily by living among the fey king’s servants. Her life of anonymity serves her well and helps her forget how Kirran betrayed her — that is, until they’re thrust back into each other’s lives.

Their hostile reunion leaves both reeling — until they realize their memories of their breakup don’t match, and neither is lying. 

With mere days before Kirran has to choose a bride, they must put aside their hurts and fight to uncover the truth.

And in the process, maybe, just maybe, they’ll find a second chance to fight for each other.

The Midnight Prince, a retelling of Cinderella, is book 5 of Once Upon a Prince, a multi-author series of clean fairy tale retellings. Each standalone story features a swoony prince fighting for his happily ever after.

We’ll be revealing a new cover every week until all twelve are out in the open, so keep your eyes peeled for more of the Once Upon a Prince series covers!

Cover Reveal: The Beggar Prince by Kate Stradling

I’m so excited to reveal the next cover for our upcoming fairytale retelling series, Once Upon a Prince!

I love how cute and rural this one is, and I haven’t read a King Thrushbeard retelling before so I’m really excited for this one!

When a prince disguised as a beggar accidentally marries a mocking princess, true identities and hearts are put at risk in this retelling of King Thrushbeard.

This book is one of twelve in our upcoming series of well-known fairytales retold from the Prince’s point of view. The Beggar Prince will be released on 6 October!

Blurb An unwilling suitor. A mocking princess. A marriage they both abhor.

Diplomacy and a demanding mother send Thorben of Hauke to a neighboring kingdom, there to present himself as candidate for marriage to their princess. Beautiful Leonie of Elisia is famous for insulting every suitor she receives, and Thorben banks on her dismissing him as well—which she does, with vicious aplomb.

This time, though, her ridicule proves her father’s breaking point. The King of Elisia vows that Leonie will marry a beggar, and Thorben departs inwardly applauding the punishment… until a terrible storm deposits him tattered and bedraggled at the castle’s kitchen door. Before he can weasel out of his mishap—or even pull rank—the marriage is done.

But what’s legal in Elisia might not be in Hauke. Disguised as a beggar, Thorben leads Leonie home to secure an annulment.

If he’s lucky, he’ll get it without revealing his true identity… and before losing his heart to his exquisite but sharp-tongued bride.

The Beggar Prince, a retelling of King Thrushbeard, is book 2 of Once Upon a Prince, a multi-author series of clean fairy tale retellings. Each standalone story features a swoony prince fighting for his happily ever after.

We’ll be revealing a new cover every week until all twelve are out in the open, so keep your eyes peeled for more of the Once Upon a Prince series covers!

Cover Reveal: The Winter Prince by Constance Lopez

I’m so excited to reveal the next cover for our upcoming fairytale retelling series, Once Upon a Prince!

How stunning is the cover for The Winter Prince by Constance Lopez? That lavender haze *heart eyes*

A cursed fae prince must put aside his pride and risk his own heart in order to save his Court in this retelling of Beauty and the Beast.

This book is one of twelve in our upcoming series of well-known fairytales retold from the Prince’s point of view. The Winter Prince will be released on 15 December!

BlurbA beastly prince. A cursed land. One last hope.

Breaking his bargain with another fae has earned Revi, Prince of the Winter Court, a terrible curse: he lives as a beast and must watch his people suffer under a withering blight. The only cure? A heart freely given.

When a human patrol steals one of Revi’s magical roses, a sliver of opportunity strikes. He agrees to spare their lives in return for a woman who must live in his castle for a year and a day. But could such a beauty learn to love a beast like him?

Although Kienna was warned of conniving fae before her arrival at the Winter Court, the Winter Prince, while beastly, is not the monster she expected. Her dreams plague her—or more specifically, the enigmatic silvery man who walks them does. She’s determined to find him in the waking world and free him from his imprisonment.

Her dream prince begs her not to trust her eyes. But…can she trust her heart?

The Winter Prince, a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, is book 12 of Once Upon a Prince, a multi-author series of clean fairy tale retellings. Each standalone story features a swoony prince fighting for his happily ever after.

Desperate to escape the chaos of the court and his father’s suffocating expectations, Killian trespasses into the Forbidden Forest. There he stumbles into more than he bargains for: magic and mystery and a beautiful woman who embodies both.

As a Guardian of the Forest, Raela’s duties are clear: honor the sentient elements, foster the life of the forest, and protect them all from the danger of fairy circles. Yet, she finds herself aching for more. After the first man she has ever seen stumbles into her meadow, she begins to wonder questions that she should have had answers to all along: where are her parents? What
are her aunties hiding? And is there more out there for her after all?

When the fairy returns for revenge, Killian must overcome his fears and fight for his father, his throne, and the woman he loves. He cannot afford to fail now, or he will lose them all.

This book is one of twelve in our upcoming series of well-known fairytales retold from the Prince’s point of view. The Crownless Prince will be released on 1 December!

BlurbA dreamer prince. A princess out of his reach. A second chance to keep their promises.

Four years ago, Prince Marcus was imprisoned in a tower with only his servant-bodyguard for company. His crime? Falling in love with the daughter of his father’s rival.

After the spell keeping them trapped breaks, the prince and servant escape to discover that the war Marcus wished to avoid already came and claimed the lives of his family. Penniless, homeless, and the target of an assassin sent by the father of the woman he hoped to marry, the erstwhile prince sets out to reassure himself that his beloved is alive and well.

But Princess Adriana is about to wed a wealthy lord, and when a brokenhearted Marcus and his friend accept jobs as servants, they find themselves in the last place they should be—serving Adriana’s betrothed in the castle of a king who wants Marcus dead.

Cover Reveal: The Wicked Prince by Celeste Baxendell

I’m so excited to reveal the next cover for our upcoming fairytale retelling series, Once Upon a Prince!

How stunning is The Wicked Prince by Celeste Baxendell!

A tyrannical prince meets his match when he decides to marry the outlaw plaguing his reign in this gender-swapped reimagining of Robin Hood.

This book is one of twelve in our upcoming series of well-known fairytales retold from the Prince’s point of view. The Wicked Prince will be released on 20 October!

BlurbA righteous outlaw. A wicked tyrant. A marriage to save their crumbling kingdom.

As regent, Prince John has a never-ending list of problems, including his brother’s expensive war and his subjects’ utter hatred of him. But the biggest thorn in his side? The outlaw Robin Hood.

With an ultimatum from his brother—deal with the outlaw once and for all or be sent to the frontlines to die—Prince John needs a solution and fast. Upon discovering everything they thought they knew about the criminal was wrong—most surprising, Robin Hood is a woman—Prince John’s brilliant scheme is born.

Marry the outlaw. Secure his safety… even if he condemns himself to a wife that despises him and fascinates him in equal measures.

Robin has never come across a trap she couldn’t escape, but when Prince John proves himself as her equal, it’s time to put that to the test. She’d made a vow to fight his tyranny, and the ring on her finger won’t change that.

As long as she believes he is every wicked thing the world says he is, her heart is safe, and even though she might be the greatest thief in the world, it isn’t like he has a heart for her to steal…

The Wicked Prince, a retelling of Robin Hood, is book 4 of Once Upon A Prince, a multi-author series of clean fairy tale retellings. Each standalone story features a swoony prince fighting for his happily ever after.

Cover Reveal: The Golden Prince by Alice Ivinya

I’m so excited to reveal the next cover for our upcoming fairytale retelling series, Once Upon a Prince!

BlurbA perfect prince. An engagement to save a kingdom. Too bad it’s all a lie.

Prince Thomas has always been the perfect prince, but now that his kingdom is falling to famine, he must prove his worth and restore the blessing of Spring. All he has to do is find a mysterious woman from a painting and marry her. It’s a quest he’s been born for. He has everything: the looks, the talent, the perseverance. No matter what peril she is in, he will find and rescue her. And he’ll do so with style.

If Maisie has learned one lesson in her life, it’s not to trust anybody. Having been hurt countless times, she lets people see her mask and no deeper. Her practice at deception makes her a master thief, but now she is forgetting which parts of her are real. However, one thing is certain: she does not need any prince to rescue her. In fact, she needs nobody at all.

The hounds of Winter are gathering, leaving death in their wake. The famine is spreading. If Prince Thomas doesn’t marry Maisie, the kingdom will fall. But how can he learn to love somebody with a shattered heart?

Cover Reveal: The Unlucky Prince by Deborah Grace White

I’m so excited to reveal the very first cover for our upcoming fairytale retelling series, Once Upon a Prince!

The Unlucky Prince by Deborah Grace White is a Frog Prince retelling, set in the same world as Deborah’s Kingdom Tales series. The first book in our twelve book series, retelling well-known fairytales from the Prince’s point of view, will be released on 29 September!

Blurb

A sacrifice to duty. Magic gone awry. And a prince with the worst luck on the continent.

Prince Ari has always struggled to find his place in his own kingdom…maybe because he spent half his childhood trapped in a swan’s body. His mother thinks he should find a wife and settle down, but far from being subdued by his past brush with magic, he’s convinced life has more adventure for him yet. That belief takes him to the neighboring kingdom—their former enemies who are now their allies.

Princess Violet expects nothing from the foreign prince’s visit, except maybe a last chance for some lighthearted fun. After all, she still has a few days before carrying out her secret plan to sacrifice her heart for the sake of the kingdom. Prince Ari will be leaving soon, so where’s the harm in a bit of flirtation?

Except neither of them have any idea of the forces working against their plans, both from inside the castle and from within their own hearts. And that’s before Ari falls afoul of the worst luck imaginable. As it turns out, being cursed to be a frog is even worse than being a swan.

Ari’s apparent absence only clears the way for darker plots, but fortunately amphibians see things humans don’t. It will take both a determined princess and a more-than-usually resourceful frog to uncover what’s really going on before it’s too late—both for Violet’s heart and the future of the kingdom.

The Unlucky Prince, a retelling of The Frog Prince, is book 1 of Once Upon A Prince, a multi-author series of clean fairy tale retellings. Each standalone novella features a swoony prince and his flaws, growth, and happily ever after.

It’s set in the world of The Kingdom Tales, a completed series of six clean fairy tale retellings by Deborah Grace White. The Unlucky Prince takes place four years after the end of the series, but can be enjoyed without any prior reading.

We’ll be revealing a new cover every week until all twelve are out in the open, so keep your eyes peeled for more of the Once Upon a Prince series covers!
