 The Shards of Magic: Book 2
Publication Date: September 30, 2025
Once a servant, now a princess, a young woman thrust into power challenges everything about the underground Fae realm in the spellbinding sequel to Sarah Hawley’s USA Today bestseller Servant of Earth.
Kenna Heron is still reeling from her lover’s betrayal and the threat of an impending civil war. With only a sentient dagger and her two closest—and most powerless—friends by her side, she must navigate the treachero’s politics of Mistei while coming to terms with her new identity as not just Fae, but princess of the reborn Blood House.
With the corrupt king dead at last, three candidates are vying for the crown: a princess who claims the throne as her birthright and two rebel princes, both of whom are courting Kenna’s support to break the stalemate between them. Old loyalties fray as new, volatile alliances form, and Kenna finds herself caught in a web of violence and deceit—and swept up in a forbidden romance as passionate as it is dangerous.
Kenna has the power to shape Mistei’s future… but someone’s willing to kill to make sure she never gets the chance.
The magical world of Mistei comes alive, brimming with danger in the second installment of The Shards of Magic series.
Author Sarah Hawley serves up another adventure for former servant Kenna Heron in Princess of Blood. Kenna leverages her powers along with a new identity as a Fae princess amid political chaos.
Just like in Servant of Earth, the author weaves in a solid dose of romance and comical moments courtesy of the mystical dagger. Blood House is utterly exquisite in design, but the dark side is never far.
Whether Kenna will succeed in her efforts to bring change depends on her ability to navigate a political minefield paved with deceit. In Mistei, one wrong step can prove fatal.
Princess of Blood offers another chapter in a titillating romantasy.
