Publication Date: October 12, 2023
Genre: Romantic Fantasy
A century ago, an exchange was proposed: a life saved for a war of revenge.
For Captain Lia Solus of the fae army, and the secret bastard daughter of the king, she’s reminded of those consequences daily. Unable to claim her heritage or her throne, she’s powerless to stop the innocent bloodshed that her birth ushered in.
On the other side of the lines, Commander Jace Cadoria gladly fights the war of his ancestors to slaughter the fae who have terrorized the humans of their realm for generations. And with a cunning plan to trap them, the end could finally be in sight. Except it quickly spirals out of control, leaving Lia and Jace, enemies of opposite sides, stranded together in a dangerous terrain.
Engaged in an intimate battle of their own, both warring to take control, they’ll need their wits now more than ever to survive. Because this fight could cost their lives—and their hearts.
The Dagger And The Forbidden Heir is Book One in The Forbidden Heir Trilogy. The story is a fun and chaotic new take on fantasy, featuring enemies-to-lovers, fun modernized banter, dragons, small bits of magic, heartache, and adventure. This story is in multiple, 1st person POV, including the villains, and is a character-driven romantic fantasy. This story is considered “beginner fantasy” due to its easy world-building and magic system, and is also recommended to fans of Throne of Glass, Fourth Wing, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and Game of Thrones/ House of the Dragon.

Review:
First off, please note the content warning, it is highly suggested readers should be 18 or older to read. The Dagger and the Forbidden Heir has almost all of my favorite tropes, from enemies to lovers, one bed, fated mates, and morally grey characters! The characters Lia and Jace are both full of banter and the dialogue between the two drew me in right away. This book was also spicy and it was well done, I really enjoyed reading about this fantasy world. I cannot wait for the next book. Also, look at how beautiful this cover is!
