Lord James of Peros is selfish, arrogant, and unserious, but he also might just be Princess Aurelia’s only hope of survival against a cruel father and a cursed engagement to a wicked man. Enlisting James to help her comes with its own entanglements, though, not the least of which is her traitorous heart—especially when it turns out James is not nearly as selfish, arrogant, or unserious as she always thought he was. As James struggles alongside Aurelia in the enchanted Black Forest of Ravenia, she comes to realize that the one person she has been using to thwart her curse has become the one person she cannot live without.
*Son of Gold and Sorrow is a standalone novel in The Fairytale Collection, which is a non-sequential series; the books exist in a shared universe with shared characters, but can be read in any order.
