K.A. Erickson’s seductive New Adult fantasy book “Prince of Ash and Shadow” will attract readers who enjoy a fast-paced narrative, the reluctant-allies-to-lovers cliché, and sarcastic heroines. The narrative centers on a snarky necromancer named Prince Rayden Darkbringer, a dying Faerie Prince,
to whom she unexpectedly finds herself bonded. Together, they negotiate the world of Faerie’s hidden powers, murder schemes, and court politics. Arrive to see the moody prince and remain to see the flirtatious werewolf and the amusing gnome.
