What harm could come from impersonating royalty?
After years on the road conning wealthy nobles out of their gold, Kiera is ready to give up her life of crime and return to her childhood home of Cearbhall. She’s got one last job in mind, one that will see her set for life. What harm could come from impersonating a country princess to marry a prince and live wealthily ever after? Except her childhood home is nothing like she remembered. The king has gone senile, his younger sons rule with terror, and the crown prince is missing. The prince she’s to wed is only interested in siring an heir, and her future brother-in-law wants to get into her skirts. Deciding the grifter’s life wasn’t so bad after all, Kiera plots her escape. Before she can steal away, she’s discovered and thrown into the dungeon with a crazed wolfborn to die.
Lachlan never thought that he'd see his childhood sweetheart once his wolfborn affliction set in. Nor did he expect to ever see daylight. Imprisoned in the dungeon since adolescence, his brothers have usurped the throne and trail evil in their wake. When Kiera lands in the dungeon with him, he recovers his will to put things right. Kiera may not remember him, but he remembers her, and Lachlan vows to save her from his brothers and their schemes.
Except Kiera wields a power unlike any other, and she doesn’t need saving. But the people of Cearbhall do. As Kiera and Lachlan fight the evil princes, they uncover a greater magic in the world around them, and a powerful magic between them that can’t be denied...
Elizabeth B. Thoughts
Stealing the Wolf Prince is the first book in a series, but it reads very well as a stand-alone story. Our heroine is Kiera, a young lady who depends on her cousin, Brogan, and his cons for her lively hood. She has always been in the background of the cons, helping with research, but never participating. Their latest con has her front and center.
To say that things don’t go as planned is an understatement, but that failure puts Kiera in the path of her childhood friend, and our hero, Lachlan. Lachlan has a couple of huge secrets that he is keeping from Kiera, but they don’t impact their relationship at first. Kiera and Lachlan are a true example of soul mates and watching them together is very sweet, you can’t help but root for them.
The story is fast paced with intrigue, secrets revealed, murder plots, rescues, love, and a healthy dose of fantasy (werewolves and fairies). It was well written and I would definitely be back to see what happens next in the Wylderland Chronicles.
Thank you! <3 <3 <3
