His Caged Princess

Rate this book
In the kingdom of Ehlesaar, a place known as heaven on earth, Princess Layana is one of the four daughters of the King. Her birth was shrouded in mystery and her heritage a secret to all. Despite living the luxurious life of a royal, she always felt as if she was trapped in the cage-like palace. Wishing she could someday be free. Declan of House Storm was the sole survivor of a massacred clan, an event that gave birth to the darkness within him. Fuelled by hatred, rage and betrayal he wants nothing more than revenge for the slaughter of his family and clan. What will happen when the shielded princess with a heart as pure as the first ray of dawn meets the heir whose soul is shrouded in a blanket of darkness. Sparks fly, and beyond his every control Declan finds himself falling for the beautiful princess of the man responsible for the end of House Storm. Will he still set her free from her shackles? Will she lead him to the light in time before his darkness consumes him? When the first whispers of darkness spread from the borders, Layana and Declan have far more to worry about. For in the shadows an ancient evil is brewing. Despite the lies, secrets, and prophecy of a forbidden bloodline, will the duo be able to overcome it all to save not only the kingdom, but their blossoming love before it's too late?

I have finished this book. And what should I say. You’re an amazing writer.
I’m a fairy tale person. Always loved Prince,Princess and kingdom type of stories. The way you describe Ehlesaar was just wow. 🤩
I was imagining it in my mind while reading.
Of course the never ending tears for the second Queen’s unrequited love by her King and her last moments and the young Queen’s short life. I don’t want to start on Aren now. 😔
I’m so in love with Declan of House Storm. 🫠
And Layana is a cutie pie 🥰
It’s an amazing story Muse. I’ll keep in mind to have a signed copy of this book from you one day. 💖

I’ve followed Moonlight Muse for awhile now but somehow never got around to reading her first book, His Caged Princess. Let me tell you, I regret that decision. This book is so unlike her other books however I liked it very much. I usually do not like 3rd person books as I somehow find them annoying but tHis Caged Princess is well written and enjoyable. Weather you are a Moonlight Muse fan, or a new Muse reader and enjoy a fantasy romance books, you should give this as try as well as check out her other novels!

Just What A Binge-Reader Ordered

Moonlight Muse doesn't miss with ANY of the books she writes. The twists and turns, shocking revelations...You fall in love with the main characters and root for them the entire time while the hate you have for the villains are so relatable and palpable. Her attention to detail in her writing gives you the ability to be in the moment and feel what each character is feeling. The action, passion, drama, and heart-wrenching moments, make her stories a cut above the rest.

Most books with similar storylines bore me before I am halfway through. I loved every minute of this book and hope the author has more stories to enthrall me with!

Loved it!!

Just like all of Muse's books this is amazing! For readers who crave intensity, tension, and transformative love stories wrapped in a royal fantasy setting, this novel delivers. The internal monologues and confrontations are layered with vulnerability and pride, making even quiet moments feel heavy with meaning. The gradual development of trust and attraction between Declan and Layana feels earned. The romance simmers before it ignites, building tension that keeps pages turning.

Great story again. Thanks MM

I missed this book among the others Moonlight Muse has written. I'm glad I finally had a chance to give it a read. MM has created another beautiful world filled with magic, mystery, battles, tragedy, and, of course, like all her books, a love that breaks all rules and crosses all boundaries ❤️

This book was Muse's debut novel. It is unlike any of her other works! She takes you on adventure into a brand new world. I adored Layana and Declan. Seriously...who doesn't want a Declan. Their character growth throughout the story was amazing! Is it wrong I wish we could get a sequel? LOL

Except one all of the Moonlight Muse books are paranormal fantasys but this one is a little different. A fairytale like story about sisters and prince. But not the typical one. There is an evil among them. But we all hold goodness and darkness in ourselves. Definitely must read.

I have read many books by this author, and this one is by far my favorite. I felt as if it were an original story which is something you don't see too much anymore.

This was Muse's first novel and still remains one of my all time favorites. Declan and Laylana's story is unique and captivating. It's tragically beautiful, and their tale unravels magnificently. Laylana is a sheltered princess (until she's not) and she has to rise up to help save her kingdom's fate. Declan of House Storm is angry, arrogant and harsh. He's sure in his path of revenge against the royal family until he realizes not all it as it seems.

I highly recommend this story and hope you love it as much as I do.
