Summary

Throne of Glass meets Minecraft in this exciting romantic YA fantasy. 

One prince wants her out. 
Another wants her as a pawn. 
Someone wants her dead. 

Zora wants to win the cup and tell them all to screw themselves.  

Yes, 17-year-old Zora cheated her way into the Royal Games, but it was for a very good reason. Her ex-boyfriend thought she couldn't attain glory on her own. Just because she was a girl. And he was the real cheater. So she took his place. 

Now she's competing for the legendary Blood Cup, representing the Dark Valley. It's her chance to prove her worth and bring glory for her people. If she wins, of course. 

But winning is far from easy. The younger prince thinks she's a fragile damsel who doesn't belong in the competition. Determined to eliminate her at all costs, he's stacking the challenges against her. Zora hates him, hates him, hates him, and will do anything to prove him wrong.  

The older prince is helping her, but the cost is getting Zora entangled in dangerous flirting games. Flirting, the last thing she wanted. 

And then there's someone trying to kill her. 

The Cup and the Prince is a YA fantasy with romance, action, and intrigue, for listeners 15 and older.  It's Book 1 in the series Kingdom of Curses and Shadows.

Really looking forward to the next book

I got this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an open and honest review.

From the start I liked the sound of this book but I was really caught off guard by how much I ended up enjoying it and how invested I’d become in the characters. I really enjoyed the world building though would have enjoyed more about the kingdom itself discussed. The dark valley and it’s monsters is a wonderful and new concept that I’m really excited to see evolve. The female protagonist might be one of my favourites, she’s sassy, independent and keeps fiercely to her values. The beginning of the book has some creepyboy elements that lean into some gaslighting and emotional manipulation tropes but I like the little justice that comes as a result. Petty, yes. More interesting than regular brutes being brutes, absolutely. Nice little listen and I enjoyed the narrators performance too.

what started

what started as revenge turns out to prove that females can be more and just as good as any males can be.
