Secret of the Castle Tayla Jean Grossberg

BOOK 2 of the SILVER KINGDOM

Caitlin and Rafe dream of a fairy-tale life together. But Sky Castle is no place for happy-ever-afters.

For Caitlin is being stalked by the relentless assassin Black Blade, and Rafe's secret puts him at risk of death at the hands of the hunter Dylan and his vengeance-seeking father and aunt. And while Caitlin's parents work to rebuild their ravaged lives, her little sister Maggie harbors hopes of becoming a great lady of the royal court.

But all is not as it seems at the seat of the Silver Kingdom.

There are monsters in the castle. There are things that dwell in the dark: something crawling around in the deep, dank tunnels, crazed and savage; red-cloaked beings, unfeeling, unthinking, and unnatural, some with blades for fingers; a creature with burning eyes, iron hooves, too many teeth, and an insatiable hunger. And then there are the killers who sit on the throne.

Deep in the bowels of Sky Castle lies the key to Caitlin's tortured past-and the horrible revelation that she just might be the most terrifying monster of them all.
