A Prince of Sin Book2: Throne of Secrets

Throne of Secrets by Kerri Maniscalco is an adult romantic fantasy and the second A Prince of Sin novel. The Prince of Gluttony needs help from a journalist who has spent years trying to expose him, turning a longstanding rivalry into a dangerous partnership.

Throne of Secrets: Gabriel Axton and Adriana Saint Lucent

Gabriel Axton, the Prince of Gluttony, enjoys indulgence and the excitement of the hunt. When one hunt becomes deadly, however, he recognises that a serious threat has entered his demon court. The problem cannot be dismissed as another adventure, and discovering its cause becomes urgent.

Adriana Saint Lucent has wanted a revealing story about Gabriel for years. She believes there is plenty to expose, but the rumour she uncovers is more frightening than the scandal she hoped to report. Following it brings her to the court of the very person she has been trying to investigate.

Gabriel needs her skill at finding information. Adriana needs to understand what is happening, even if doing so requires working with him. Both carry secrets into the partnership, and neither has much practice treating the other as an ally. Meanwhile, the danger facing their kingdom continues to grow.

A Prince of Sin romance about rivalry and hidden truths

The journalist-and-prince pairing makes information central to the relationship. Adriana’s job is to ask questions, while Gabriel has spent a decade avoiding her. Cooperation therefore requires them to change habits that have helped define their antagonism for years.

The external threat makes that change necessary, but it does not automatically create trust. A useful partner can remain infuriating, and a longstanding judgment can survive even when new evidence begins challenging it. The developing attraction complicates the distinction between what each person believes and what each is increasingly prepared to feel.

Readers who like adult fantasy romance with investigation, demon courts and rivals becoming allies will find those elements directly connected here. The mystery concerns the safety of the kingdom; the emotional plot concerns whether two people can revise an established story about one another. Their own undisclosed histories make both tasks more difficult.

The second Prince of Sin book in English

Throne of Secrets follows Throne of the Fallen in Kerri Maniscalco’s A Prince of Sin sequence, shifting the central couple to Gabriel and Adriana. This product is the English Hodderscape trade paperback carrying ISBN 9781399715737.

The novel suits readers interested in a new relationship within the author’s interconnected fantasy world. Its particular hook is that the person best equipped to uncover the truth is also the person the prince would prefer to avoid. The cooperation they need may protect their court, but it also threatens the certainty of their mutual dislike. Discovering the source of danger and admitting a different kind of feeling become entwined challenges.
