It’s time for the second book in our Once Upon a Prince series! This week it’s Kate Stradling’s The Beggar Prince: A King Thrushbeard Retelling.
Haven’t got yours yet, or were waiting on the paperback? Get it here now:
So far, both of the first OUAP books to release have become instant bestsellers, which is absolutely mind blowing and incredible! We’ve been so lucky to have a great team and even better readers supporting us, so thank you to everyone who’s bought copies, preordered, reviewed the books and posted about our series on social media. You’re all amazing!
Blurb:
An unwilling suitor. A mocking princess. A marriage they both abhor.
Diplomacy and a demanding mother send Thorben of Hauke to a neighboring kingdom, there to present himself as candidate for marriage to their princess. Beautiful Leonie of Elisia is famous for insulting every suitor she receives, and Thorben banks on her dismissing him as well—which she does, with vicious aplomb.
This time, though, her ridicule proves her father’s breaking point. The King of Elisia vows that Leonie will marry a beggar, and Thorben departs inwardly applauding the punishment… until a terrible storm deposits him tattered and bedraggled at the castle’s kitchen door. Before he can weasel out of his mishap—or even pull rank—the marriage is done.
But what’s legal in Elisia might not be in Hauke. Disguised as a beggar, Thorben leads Leonie home to secure an annulment.
If he’s lucky, he’ll get it without revealing his true identity… and before losing his heart to his exquisite but sharp-tongued bride.
The Beggar Prince, a retelling of King Thrushbeard, is book 2 of Once Upon A Prince, a multi-author series of clean fairy tale retellings. Each standalone story features a swoony prince fighting for his happily ever after.
What are you waiting for? Go and meet Thorben and Leonie!
And then check out Kate’s other brilliant books. I highly recommend Deathmark!
Happy reading,
Lyndsey
