Forget white knights, bring on the dark princes! This is a truly dark fairytale. I hope you have your magic wand at the ready... you're going to need it! – Jade West, USA Today bestselling author

From USA Today bestselling author Isabella Starling writing as Fawn Bailey, a contemporary, dark fairytale trilogy filled with luxury, lies and seduction.

Once upon a time, a prince stole my heart. But that wasn't enough for him. He wants to own me, and I'm more than eager to kneel for him. Being the heir to a kingdom, Prince Olivier Bellamy has all the gold I've ever dreamed of... and getting married to him is the only way for me to save myself and my loved ones.

Unfortunately, the battle for his heart won't be easy. A royal competition for Prince Olivier means I'm going up against twelve other girls - and they are as beautiful as they are ruthless. But I'm not going down without a fight. I'm not Amber Jonathan, poor little girl from the wrong side of the tracks anymore. I'm finally ready to wear the crown. And I'll do anything to get it.

But not everything is as it seems at the royal court. Dark secrets, castle intrigue and hidden twists await me on my journey to the throne. And soon enough, I realize Prince Olivier isn't the only royal interested in my hand...

Someone else wants more than just his ring on my finger. The royal bast*rd, Bruno, will stop at nothing to put his heir inside me. And just when I think I have the money in my pocket, and Olivier wrapped around my little finger, the rules change... and the games truly begin.

Dark Castle is the first book in The Dazzling Court trilogy. Amber's story continues in Wicked Prince and Ever After.

MY REVIEW

OMFG! Fawn Bailey NAILED this story! Dark Castle is an original story with unforeseeable twists that will have you BEGGING for more!

This book is compelling and addictive. I was incapable of putting it down. It completely eclipsed anything else that was going on.

Naughty, carnal and ruthless this page-singeing, panty-melting story has me feeling completely drunk on it.

Amber started out as a meek mouse but as the story progressed, her defiance of the Queen made me giddy. I found her naive and materialistic but I know her character will grow.

Olivier is still a mystery to me. I have a feeling there is a dark side we have yet to see. I’m on tenterhooks to see his true character.

Bruno intrigues me and I cannot wait to see how is character develops and how it relates to the overall plot.

Amazingly written, bold and thrilling Dark Castle will captivate and titillate until the very last word.

I’m downright begging for the next book.

Be forewarned that this book ends on a cliffhanger.

I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
