The epic conclusion to the dark and compelling romantasy trilogy that became a global phenomenon

‘A special, unforgettable series… Lush. Brutal. Unparalleled.’ – Sarah J. Maas
Damianos of Akielos has returned. His identity now revealed, Damen must face his master Prince Laurent as Damianos of Akielos, the man Laurent has sworn to kill.

On the brink of a momentous battle, the future of both their countries hangs in the balance. In the south, Kastor's forces are massing. In the north, the Regent's armies are mobilising for war. Damen's only hope of reclaiming his throne is to fight together with Laurent against their usurpers.

Forced into an uneasy alliance the two princes journey deep into Akielos, where they face their most dangerous opposition yet. But even if the fragile trust they have built survives the revelation of Damen's identity – can it stand against the Regent's final, deadly play for the throne?

Readers looking for an addictive slow-burn romance with great characterisation and world-building will fall in love with the Captive Prince series.

RT Book Reviews (Top Pick)

Powerful eroticism and political fantasy create a stunningly mesmerizing world.

Fresh Fiction

Captive Prince is very well written. The language is taut and tense, the atmosphere of the decadent Vere court wonderfully created. The story absolutely rips along.

Captive Prince . . . is the sexy read of 2015.

This book sucked me in from the very first page.

Pacat's world building is superb . . . Pacat has written some deliciously complex characters and a multi layered narrative that definitely kept me guessing . . . beautifully written, unpredictable and at times confronting.
