The Hunted Heir, The Veiled Kingdom Series Book 2 By Holly Renee

In the gripping second installment of Holly Renee’s scorching romantasy series, passion and treachery intertwine as the hunt for a lost princess takes a dangerous turn. The story continues with the aftermath of Verena’s shocking revelation as the lost princess of Marmoris—a truth that devastated the protagonist and turned his world upside down. The taste of her betrayal lingers, mixing with the ache of his unfulfilled desire and the secrets she still harbors.

Haunted by Verena’s deep blue eyes and the betrayal that has scarred him, he is driven by a relentless need to find her. As he scours the land with the rebellion at his side, he faces a race against time. His father, the cruel king responsible for the death of his mother, is also searching for Verena, and if he finds her first, the consequences could be catastrophic.

The stakes are high: Verena is the key to the kingdom’s future and the heart of the rebellion’s cause. Yet, the rebellion’s orders are clear: the princess must be captured, either by their forces or by the gods, an ultimatum that weighs heavily on him. As he hunts for Verena, the lines between duty and desire blur. Despite the bitterness of their past and the pain of her betrayal, he knows he cannot let his father seize her.

Verena remains the hunted heir, but to him, she is more than just a symbol of the rebellion—she is a part of his soul, a dangerous and irresistible truth he cannot deny.
