The Uncrowned King by Ayla Marie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Leo, his family and their newfound friends are back but the danger is nowhere near over for this rag tag band, they are trying to adjust to the life that they have found since Leo was introduced to the royal family in Illena since finding out he is a lost prince from their bloodline. Meanwhile, he is trying to come to terms with everything which has happened recently, especially about the ones he has left behind and those he has lost, but his brother is helping him not to fall down the rabbit hole of despair which he is determined not to fall back into.

Meanwhile, the group are learning how to live within their newly acquired luxurious lifestyle and all the pitfalls which come with living in polite society. However, they have not only caught the attention of the other royals, a band of ne’er-do-wells are also keeping them in their sights, but they have no idea just who they are tailing and how quickly the tables can be turned on them, especially as time moves on and the parallels between their and Leo’s lives become apparent and a truce is called.

As the days pass and things move along, Leo is finally starting to hope that this is a place where they can finally settle and maybe find the peace that they are all so desperately looking for, but as soon as he starts to let his guard down, his past come straight back in to rip it to pieces, but this time with all his emotional turmoil, can he stop himself from falling into the endless downward spiral he dreads, or will he be forced to meld his past and present to protect his future? This is another fast-paced dive into this fantasy world where truths, lies, revelations and secrets abound as the twists and turns in this emotional rollercoaster which will leave you gasping and living the “one last chapter” dream until you reach the end.
