Kirian and I were just twelve years old when I pulled him from the icy waters of the creek behind my house. As he looked in my direction with unseeing lavender eyes, I quickly realized our age was just about the only thing we had in common. He spoke with an accent, he had pointy ears, and he was so beautiful it made my heart ache. Oh, and he claimed to be a fae prince cursed by witches who stole … stole his sight.
I thought he was crazy from hypothermia. Turns out, he wasn’t, and for some reason he keeps coming back. But a day in my world is a year in his. Every time I see him, he’s older. Wiser. Hotter.
Over the past six years, I’ve tried not to fall in love with him because the terms of the curse are clear: If he doesn’t wait for his fated mate in all ways, including an innocent (or not-so-innocent) kiss, he’ll be blind forever.
So when Kirian kisses me and pulls me through the portal to his realm, I make it my mission to do some damage control. It’d be a whole lot easier if he wasn’t determined to marry me… And if someone wasn’t trying to murder me every step of the way.
The Fae King’s Curse is a full-length novel with no cliffhanger. You don’t have to read the prequel to enjoy this story, as it is about a different couple. But if you want more of this world and to see how Kirian’s parents fell in love, Between Dawn and Dusk is just $0.99 or free with Kindle Unlimited.

I was obsessed, and I mean OBSESSED with the prequel to this. So when I say I was excited for this book take that to be the world’s biggest understatement. I dropped everything I was doing (seriously, my husband had to continue cooking dinner for our family because I dropped that whole feeding people thing the second I saw this beauty) when this hit my kindle and dove right in with a happy squeal. Jamie Schlosser has wowed me before, but I’m here to tell you this series is something special. Not only is it something new from her but she has so beautifully written her own unique version of the Fae that it’s something new for literally everyone.
I’ve read plenty of fated mates throughout the years of my PNR obsession but not many fall under the magnificent love category the way Kirian and Quinn do. Despite the worlds between them their love blossoms in such a unique way. It’s truly something you have to read to fully appreciate the feelings that it creates. These two are so well written and their story so captivating I was fully immersed in their world. I felt like I was surrounded in magic discovering new amazing things left and right, right along with Quinn. I felt the deep love that Kirian had for Quinn pouring from the pages and filling my heart. My heart leapt with joy as these two realized how much they truly loved one another. My heart raced and dropped as events began to unfold in the Fae world.
It was a non-stop joyride of epic proportions reading this. Once again Jamie Schlosser has left me Schlossered and I cannot wait to get my hands on more from this series.
The Fae King’s Curse is book two in the Between Dawn and Dusk series by Jamie Schlosser. I have been so excited to get started on this book, to read Kirian’s story. And wow! This was amazing! Jamie Schlosser has a hidden talent for writing paranormal romance. This world she has created is both beautiful and treacherous. If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend reading the prequel, Between Dawn and Dusk. Not only is it amazing, it will introduce you to this world and also to Kirian.
The first born son of every king has been cursed with blindness until they find their fated mate. If they kiss any other, then they will remain blind permanently. Kirian is the son of the king of the Night Realm. Once a year, on his birthday, he is gifted a portal. He is twelve years old when he was pulled from the water in the human realm by the girl with the beautiful voice. He was drawn to her. One year in his world is only one day in the human realm. So each year he waited for his birthday so he could return to her.
Quinn Prescott couldn’t believe it when she saw the boy floundering in the water. They became best friends that day. And each day she returned to same place where they would spend time talking, fishing and forming an unbreakable bond of friendship. Only she remained a girl but every day, Kirian was older, bigger, stronger, and more beautiful than anyone she had ever seen before.
As the years pass, Quinn falls hopelessly in love with Kirian. But she knows she can never have him. She knows he has to find his fated mate to get his sight back. Only Kirian has other plans. He is tired of waiting. Quinn is eighteen now. He has waited thousands of years for her. She’s the only woman he wants for his queen.
Once Kirian and Quinn are in the Night Realm, they quickly realize that not everyone is happy he has chosen his queen. Someone wants her dead. In order to get answers, they must journey to the Shadowlands to speak with a witch. But the journey turns out to be much more dangerous than either of them realized. As they travel, though, their bond strengthens, their love grows stronger, and their resolve to be together is unbreakable.
This book was simply amazing. I could see it all happening in my head as I read the words. Kirian and Quinn do get their happy ending, but, there are still other issues to be resolved, namely Kirian’s cousins, Damon, the king of the Dream Realm, and Zander, the King of the Day Realm, both of which are also blind by the same curse as Kirian. They are also searching for their mates, while trying to rule their kingdoms and right the wrongs of their fathers. Damon’s story will be next. And I can’t wait until it gets here.
