Bloodhoundhearts

“Blurb She had nothing left. No home. No family. No future. When Elena was dragged from her village and thrown into the royal palace as a kitchen maid, she expected to be invisible. She expected to scrub floors, peel potatoes, and disappear into the walls like every other servant the kingdom had forgotten. She did not expect him. Prince Aiden. The Bloodhound Prince. A man so ruthless that nobles trembled at his silence, so beautiful that women lost themselves in a single glance. He was the last person who should have noticed a girl like her. But he did. Because Elena carries a secret she cannot control. When her eyes turn pink, she sees what no one wants seen: the truth. Every lie. Every hidden intention. Every dark, buried desire. And the first time her power touched Prince Aiden's mind... he felt it. Now Elena is trapped between a prince who refuses to let her go, a shapeshifting maid named Ramela who will destroy her at any cost, and a prophecy older than the palace itself... one that says the Bloodhound's heart will either save the kingdom or burn it to ash. In a palace where trust is poison and love is a death sentence, Elena must decide: run from the darkness closing in around her, or step into it and claim the beast who waits at its center. Some hearts are found. Some are hunted.”
