About
Drue Emmerson, noblewoman-turned-ranger, wants one thing: vengeance. With her family slain by the vicious shadow wraiths, she’s determined to defend her fallen kingdom. And that means carving out the hearts of every dark creature she can find.
Talemir Starling, celebrated warrior of the realms, has a dangerous secret: he’s a half-wraith, kin to the creatures wreaking devastation on the world. He’ll do anything to keep his true nature under control… especially around the woman who’s vowed to destroy him.
When someone Drue cares about disappears, all signs point to Talemir’s kind. But he’s determined to prove he’s no monster, and to seek answers of his own. Begrudgingly, the pair must join forces to uncover the deadly truth.
But in a world of chaos and carnage, where danger lurks at every turn, deadlier still is their attraction to one another – the one thing that might just spell the end of them both.
Will Talemir win Drue’s heart? Or will she carve his out before the end?
Slaying the Shadow Prince is a standalone instalment of the heart-pounding fantasy romance series, Mortal Enemies to Monster Lovers. If you like fiery heroines and tortured heroes, as well as forced proximity, found family and touch-her-and-you-die vibes, you will devour this sexy, addictive fantasy romance.

The spice is so exquisitely written you need a fan and a set of spare batteries to read. And that’s aside from how intricately drawn and delicious the fantasy world is. If you love enemies to lovers, tons of spice, winged men, beautiful fantasy worlds, you’re going to fall head over wings for Slaying the Shadow Prince.” – Sacha Black
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “5 Stars is NOT ENOUGH!! I absolutely loved every minute reading this- Drue is totally kick ass! She fights and loves fiercely and I just adore her! The world Helen has created is rich in detail – her writing is beautiful and it’s so easy to fall in love with the characters and story. This is a masterclass in how to do Romantasy! Epic battles, epic adventures and epic romance (with super hot spice)! I cannot recommend it enough! Read this and Blood and Steel too!” – 1000 Books, 1000 Lives
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I swear everything Helen Scheuerer writes is epic perfection at its finest. Slaying the Shadow Prince is a spicy, violent ride with all of your favorite fantasy and romance tropes. The characters are witty and strong, fighting to survive in a dark and dangerous world, so full of pain and baggage – but deliciously relatable and easy to love. I honestly can’t wait to see more of this world – hopefully Tal and his Wildfire make more appearances in future!” — B.L Callaghan
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “This was the PERFECT introduction to Helen Scheuerer. She wrote a stunning romantasy that can also act as a prequel to her book Blood & Steel (which you ALREADY KNOW I’ll be reading next). Talemir & Drue are enemies to lovers, reluctant allies, forced proximity, touch her and you d*e, MAGIC.” – Brianna via Goodreads
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Helen Scheurer has nailed the interplay so pivotal in an enemies to lovers romance. I mean, what screams love like threatening to carve out someone’s heart? Drue and Talemir kept me so entertained and I love that, even as a standalone story, we’re once again gifted with glimpses into the rest of her rich written world. Helen’s writing is just so clever as each book enhances the last and the next, and I hope it never ends!” – Chloe via Goodreads
