Hundred Kingdoms
The Hundred Kingdoms series by Alexandra Christo is a dark, enchanting fantasy world where deadly magic, betrayal, and unexpected romance collide. The first book, To Kill a Kingdom, follows Lira, a ruthless siren princess, and Elian, a prince who hunts her kind, as they form a tense alliance with world-changing consequences. Princess of Souls, set in the same universe, tells the story of Selestra, a witch bound to steal souls, and Nox, a rebellious noble. Though the books feature different characters, they share a richly imagined world filled with danger, curses, and strong-willed heroines fighting fate. Each novel stands alone yet connects thematically.
Alexandra Christo's 'To Kill a Kingdom' is a gripping dark retelling of 'The Little Mermaid.' Lira, a ruthless siren princess known as the Prince's Bane, must capture the heart of Prince Elian or face her mother's deadly wrath. As their paths intertwine, they uncover hidden secrets and must navigate treacherous waters filled with betrayal, redemption, and sacrifices. The novel expertly weaves themes of identity, redemption, and the power of choice while exploring the blurred lines between good and evil. Christo's rich world-building and complex characters make this imaginative tale a compelling read for fans of fantasy and fairy tale retellings.
