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 treacherous 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.

"What a thrill to return to Mistei in Princess of Blood, the much-anticipated sequel to Servant of Earth! Hawley delivers it all: a protagonist coming into her own as a leader, trying to do good with powers rather dark, court intrigue (and ex-trigue), an exquisitely drawn romance – and, of course, our favourite sentient dagger! I love that Hawley explores faerie stories without for a moment forgetting their cruelty. Bloody, brilliant, beautiful. Read for the lush fae aesthetics, stay for the gore."—Brigitte Knightley, author of Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy

"Princess of Blood is a triumphant and sexy return to the immersive world of Mistei. All the political intrigue, court drama, and sexual tension makes me feral for more."—Julie Soto, USA Today bestselling author of Rose in Chains

"Following tight on the heels of the thrilling conclusion of Servant of Earth, Princess of Blood finds Kenna balancing the first tender stirrings of true love (this is a kissing book) with the perilous intrigues of the Fae courts (this is a stabbing book). Perfect for all of us who prefer our heroes dark and brooding, our heroines stabby and defiant, and our villains magically shanked to death at a decadently described dinner party."—Katie Shepard, author of No One Does It Like You

"With twisty court politics, devastating romance, deep female friendships, and one delightfully blood-thirsty dagger, Sarah Hawley’s Princess of Blood is everything that made Servant of Earth a one-sitting binge read but BETTER. Be careful about when you start this one—between the slow burn that BURNS and the pulse-pounding plot, it will keep you up way past your bedtime!"—Heather Frances, author of Chase Me If You Can
