Waiting on Wednesday: The Shadow Prince by Bree Despain (Into the Dark #1)

Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine in which we have the opportunity to let others know about books that we are eagerly waiting for.


Title: The Shadow Prince by Bree Despain 
Published by: Egmont
Release date: March 11th, 2014

Haden Lord, the disgraced prince of the Underrealm, has been sent to the mortal world to entice a girl into returning with him to the land of the dead. Posing as a student at Olympus Hills High—a haven for children of the rich and famous—Haden must single out the one girl rumored to be able to restore immortality to his race.Daphne Raines has dreams much bigger than her tiny southern Utah town, so when her rock star dad suddenly reappears, offering her full tuition to Olympus Hills High’s prestigious music program, she sees an opportunity to catch the break she needs to make it as a singer. But upon moving into her estranged father’s mansion in California, and attending her glamorous new school, Daphne soon realizes she isn’t the only student in Olympus who doesn’t quite belong.Haden and Daphne—destined for each other—know nothing of the true stakes their fated courtship entails. As war between the gods brews, the teenagers’ lives collide. But Daphne won’t be wooed easily and when it seems their prophesied link could happen, Haden realizes something he never intended—he’s fallen in love. Now to save themselves, Haden and Daphne must rewrite their destinies. But as their destinies change, so do the fates of both their worlds.

Why I want to read it: I love mythology and just by reading the blurb, it sounds like the Persephone/Hades myth (which I'm partial to.) I read the first book of Despain's Dark Divine series and I enjoyed it. Also, this cover is gorgeous. 

What are you waiting for this week?

  4. Classical mythology re-vampings are kind of hit or miss with me but this one does sound intriguing. I love the Hades/ Persephone myth as well:)
