A Dance Of Silver And Shadow by Melanie Cellier

I usually don’t read romance, but this actually wasn’t bad. In this retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses, Princess Lily and her twin sister Sophie come to new kingdoms seeking adventure, but when they arrive, they are met with a Princess Tourney. A Princess Tourney is where a ruler or heir calls a competition between all the single princesses in the lands, and the winner is his betrothed. Lily and Sophie were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. But the prince who called the Tourney is supposedly a beast, his kingdom cursed. Lily, Sophie, and ten other princesses are forced to complete a series of challenges, even though none of them wish to marry this beastly prince. Lily must choose between true love and all the kingdoms. Definitely not my favorite because I’m not that big of a romance fan, but overall this was a good fantasy book.
