Description

With answers at their fingertips, Orin and Sahira soon learn the Barren Lands were only the start of their problems as they find themselves thrust into a treacherous game.
They’re not prepared for the events that soon unfold; events that will either destroy them or bring them closer.

Can they survive and finally escape the Cursed Realm, or will they remain trapped forever?

Return to the Shadow Realms. A world where vampires feast, lycans love deeply, dark fae seduce, witches cast their spells, dragons rule the skies... and treachery lurks around every corner.

    I have read all of Brenda K. Davies books, but the Shadow Realm series has been the best. Leading up to Gilded Curses, she has woven a world that makes you feel so much a part of it. In Gilded Curses, the tension, angst, and anticipation come to a head. As Orin and Sahira travel through the unknown in the realm, they also travel through the unknown within themselves. Once through the unknown, they find peace with who they are, and what they want. While the Shadow Realm series is full of nail-biting, edge of your seat goodness, Gilded Curses is the apex (so far.) I look forward to the next book in the series that continues the Shadow Realm series.
  • Brenda K. Davies rocks it again!!

    In the beginning of Sahira and Orin’s story Orin was not very likable he was playing a game and the game was to get Sahira in his bed but the game didn’t end at that and he realized it wasn’t a game anymore he had actually came to care for her. In this conclusion of Sahira and Orin’s story he finally becomes a character that is likable you really see how he’s grown and became someone that is reliable and cares for others outside his family. Sahira Orin Zeth Elsa and the brownies have made it farther than anyone else, after destroying the spiders they’re hoping nothing else comes at them but than they get to a new town and a new danger when all they want is to get home. This is the conclusion of Sahira and Orin’s story but not the end of rhe series.
  • Awesome love story with some twists!

    I couldn’t finish this book quick enough. I have the under eye raccoon circles to prove it! I regret nothing. Sahira and Orin are so awesome. Brenda does such an excellent job making her characters feel real. This story is different from her others. You all will enjoy it. There is terror in the story, I found myself covering my eyes as I didn’t want to know what was going on. Some characters, who you thought were good guys, OMG, weren’t! Won’t say which ones, no spoilers. If you live for gore ( umm I do ) there is plenty of it. Releasing this around Halloween, brilliant. There are such wonderful ancillary characters. Some sweet, some funny, some characters you will hate! I hated quite a lot of them. I will say this, as a child survivor of many forms of abuse, the story line of brutal ending of some characters was a release of tears for me. To get rid of some of those feelings through her story arc was brilliant. Thank you Brenda for that. I read it with fisted hands and felt so good. I highly recommend this book. The love story was lovely, the friendships brought tears. Grab it, you have the weekend to recuperate.

    Loved this story and series! Orin and Sahari’s story was captivating form the beginning, a frenemies with snark and hatred turned into survival, trust and love. The characters are wonderful and the story amazing.
  • Fantastic book!

The twists in this book keep you guessing and I can not wait for the next book in this series. If you have not read this series you are seriously missing out.

    Wow Brenda Davies done such a great job. Loved the twist and turns. Sahara and Orins journey, the trust they have to find in each other to make it home. Couldn’t put it down. Once you start reading you are hooked that’s for sure.

    I am so in love with this series, but this book almost tore me to pieces! I hated Orin when I first started this series and now I am so in love with him just like Sariha! She changed him for the better and I love her for it. BUT there are things in this book I never dreamed Orin would do and he is now my rock star! Will not spoil this book, but it is definitely a must read. Brenda is one of the greatest authors I know! She will make you laugh, cry and yes sometimes scream at these characters, but it is totally worth it. Thank you for another amazing book. Can’t wait to read the next one!
