We’ve got five print ARCs of Bound to the Shadow Prince by Ruby Dixon to give away today!
I know many of you saw “Ruby Dixon” and said “WHERE. DO. I. CLICK,” but in case you’re not familiar, here’s a bit about the book!
In order to protect her kingdom from the wrath of a vengeful goddess, Princess Candra must remain locked inside a tower for seven years. Seven long years without a friend—or a lover—by her side. And shut inside the tower with her? A Fellian, the enemy of her people, a fearsome warrior race complete with wings and claws and fangs. Nemeth is terrifying, cruel, and disturbingly magnetic. Candra should kill him for his supplies, but she’s desperate for his company…and his touch.
As time inside the unchanging tower rolls on, Candra uncovers the man behind the stony facade. And when their tenure hits an unexpected snag, Candra and Nemeth are forced to make a difficult choice. They’ll need to face an outside world they no longer recognize, one that threatens their lives and their surprising love.
Originally a story on Yonder, and then an audiobook, Bound to the Shadow Prince will be released in print on July 7, but if you want to read it early, well, here’s how you do that!
Just leave a comment telling us what 3 things you’d need if you were to be locked in a tower! If it’s only one thing, or two, that’s also fine, but think of it like the luxury item from Survivor.
Do you need mascara? A razor? Unlimited supply of Goldfish crackers (They are the snack that smiles back, after all)? Drop a comment and tell us what your absolute necessities for an extended stay in a tower, hot winged demon optional.
Standard disclaimers apply: Void where prohibited. Must be over 18 and ready to pack for what sounds like a lovely stay in a tower. Open to US and Canadian Residents Only where permitted by applicable law.
Comments will close around noon Eastern US time on Wednesday 5 June 2024 and winners will be selected by random integer. Winners will be announced and notified shortly after comments close.
