Find your soul's one true mate for she will save you from your fate. Rían O'Clereigh heard that fortune shortly after he was cursed, and he's been searching for this "mate" ever since. Sort of. Well, not really. But he figured if she existed, she would find him. And she finally has. Lady Aveen Bannon. Beautiful. High-born. Human. Unfortunately, to break Rían's curse, Aveen needs to die. And the more time they spend together, the less appealing that sounds. Love or freedom? That's the choice Rían must make. Unless he can find a way to have both... Prince of Deception is a companion novel to A Cursed Heart told from Rían's perspective.
