A new dark romance take on The Lion King.

Tristan was the scarred prince, the one people never took seriously, the outcast in his own home. Beaten by his brother and thought of as a joke by people... yet hes ben bidding his time.. waiting and plotting to rebel against his brother in order to avenge his brother and to finally take back the throne that is rightfully his. Sara B. is the princess that is sent to be Tristan’s brother’s new wife, she is to be the wife consort.... yet she’s been waiting and training ever since she found out her father was murdered by him in order to finally get her revenge. First she will win his trust then she will burn his kingdom to the ground. Sara and Tristan both are playing at political games and hiding behind their masks... yet whenever they run into each other they can’t help but want to get a rise out of the other and can’t seem to keep their eyes off of each other. With a rebellion on the horizon, with Tristan’s brother become more mad thinking he is being haunted with ghosts and with Sara and Tristan both vying to meet their own goals while fighting the attraction between each other, it’s going to be one bloody hell of a time. When I say I absolutely fell in love with this book I MEAN IT. I love just how volatile and vicious both Sara and Tristan are, they truly embody enemies to lovers and I LOVE IT. This was such a fun take on the Lion King/ Hamlet story and it was just so good. This is the second book in the Never After series but the stories are all standalone and this one absolutely outshined the first book in my opinion.
