His Caged Princess

His Caged Princess #2

by Moonlight Muse

Princess Layana's birth was a mystery and her heritage a secret. Despite the luxurious life of a royal, she simply wished for a life away from the cage-like palace.
Declan of House Storm was the sole survivor of a massacred clan, an event that gave birth to the darkness within him. Fuelled by hate, rage and betrayal he wants nothing but to get revenge on the royals that slaughtered his family.
What will happen when the shielded princess with a heart as pure as the first ray of dawn meets the heir whose soul is shrouded in a blanket of darkness.
Will he set her free from her shackles? Will she be able to lead him to the light before it’s too late? When the first whispers of darkness spread from the borders, they are brought together to protect the kingdom.
Beware the prophecy decreed a long time passed for it may hold their world in its balance
--------
“It seems Lord Declan holds more ignorance than he is aware, we are women with emotions, wishes and hopes that we put behind us for the betterment of the kingdom,” Layana said her eyes flashing.
“Do enlighten me, what exactly can the precious jewels of the kingdom do for its people?” Declan mocked arrogantly. “
"Jewels? You compare us to items devoid of emotions, but yes, like jewels, we will be given away to the highest bidder. So before assuming princesses are merely there to play dress up and have tea parties, remember our lives are not simply fun and games!”

I have finished this book. And what should I say. You’re an amazing writer.
I’m a fairy tale person. Always loved Prince,Princess and kingdom type of stories. The way you describe Ehlesaar was just wow. 🤩
I was imagining it in my mind while reading.
Of course the never ending tears for the second Queen’s unrequited love by her King and her last moments and the young Queen’s short life. I don’t want to start on Aren now. 😔
I’m so in love with Declan of House Storm. 🫠
And Layana is a cutie pie 🥰
It’s an amazing story Muse. I’ll keep in mind to have a signed copy of this book from you one day. 💖

I’ve followed Moonlight Muse for awhile now but somehow never got around to reading her first book, His Caged Princess. Let me tell you, I regret that decision. This book is so unlike her other books however I liked it very much. I usually do not like 3rd person books as I somehow find them annoying but tHis Caged Princess is well written and enjoyable. Weather you are a Moonlight Muse fan, or a new Muse reader and enjoy a fantasy romance books, you should give this as try as well as check out her other novels!

Just What A Binge-Reader Ordered

Moonlight Muse doesn't miss with ANY of the books she writes. The twists and turns, shocking revelations...You fall in love with the main characters and root for them the entire time while the hate you have for the villains are so relatable and palpable. Her attention to detail in her writing gives you the ability to be in the moment and feel what each character is feeling. The action, passion, drama, and heart-wrenching moments, make her stories a cut above the rest.

Loved it!

As always Muse gave us an awesome book! The development of the characters was amazing! Loved Declan and Layana’s story! Sad for Aren and Layla! Hopefully a sequel will come

[Laura Palmer]

Loved it!

Most books with similar storylines bore me before I am halfway through. I loved every minute of this book and hope the author has more stories to enthrall me with!

[Tabitha Otley]

Loved it!!

Just like all of Muse's books this is amazing! For readers who crave intensity, tension, and transformative love stories wrapped in a royal fantasy setting, this novel delivers. The internal monologues and confrontations are layered with vulnerability and pride, making even quiet moments feel heavy with meaning. The gradual development of trust and attraction between Declan and Layana feels earned. The romance simmers before it ignites, building tension that keeps pages turning.

Great story again. Thanks MM

I missed this book among the others Moonlight Muse has written. I'm glad I finally had a chance to give it a read. MM has created another beautiful world filled with magic, mystery, battles, tragedy, and, of course, like all her books, a love that breaks all rules and crosses all boundaries ❤️

This book was Muse's debut novel. It is unlike any of her other works! She takes you on adventure into a brand new world. I adored Layana and Declan. Seriously...who doesn't want a Declan. Their character growth throughout the story was amazing! Is it wrong I wish we could get a sequel? LOL

[Ivka]

Except one all of the Moonlight Muse books are paranormal fantasys but this one is a little different. A fairytale like story about sisters and prince. But not the typical one. There is an evil among them. But we all hold goodness and darkness in ourselves. Definitely must read.

[Deborah Savoia-Pearl]

Follow Layana and Declan as they maneuver around court intrigue and fall in love. Follow them as they are separated by war and keep finding each other. There is a prophecy to figure out, loss of friends and family, and deep betrayal. A beautiful romantasy by one of my favorite authors.

[Tania Vazquez]

Amazing love story, this author has the best endings

I am hooked to this author. This story was well detailed and had the perfect ending. If you have never read her stories this one may make you a follower.

[Johnna]

I have read many books by this author, and this one is by far my favorite. I felt as if it were an original story which is something you don't see too much anymore.

[XenyMarie]

I seriously did not want this story to end... all the hardships and the growth of the main characters are so well written. I just wish we got to see a little more of their hea

[Pau G]

[Brittany Vallejo]

This was one of the first books I read in Muse’s universe and it was absolutely amazing. Unrequited love, danger, loss, true love, prophecies and more await you on this epic tale.

[Harriet]

This is just pure genius I love is

[Leigh]

I'm so glad I took the leap with this one . I was in the middle of Muse's series when I found this amazing little gem!!

[Melissa Likens]

This was a fantastic story! I have read it multiple times.

[Naty's Naughty Reads]

This was Muse's first novel and still remains one of my all time favorites. Declan and Laylana's story is unique and captivating. It's tragically beautiful, and their tale unravels magnificently. Laylana is a sheltered princess (until she's not) and she has to rise up to help save her kingdom's fate. Declan of House Storm is angry, arrogant and harsh. He's sure in his path of revenge against the royal family until he realizes not all it as it seems.

I highly recommend this story and hope you love it as much as I do.

[Rustanette Yosores]
