Story
Though I was born with the ability to see the dead, I struggled with it until my brother was killed and his ghost was left behind. Now, I’m determined to figure out who is responsible for his death…the problem is that Detective Maddox Booker, the one working the case, is a grumpy and stubborn man who wants nothing to do with me and definitely doesn’t believe in ghosts. It doesn’t help that I keep finding myself looking ridiculous in front of the detective, thanks to interfering ghosts who enjoy laughing at my expense.

Some people are born lucky. Then there’s me, destined to be loved by the man who knows my darkest secret. My gift has followed me my entire life—the ability to see the threads of fate. I can see the red thread tying together two people destined to love one another. But my gift has another side to it. A darker side.

And when I look down at my own finger, I can see the red thread stretched over to Bishop King.

Ari had a game plan for life: shoot people. Get money. Hang out with fellow criminal friends. He saw absolutely no reason to change that plan until one dark night in Memphis, when a little girl reached out to him with pocket change and a desperate plea for him to help her. Adopting an abused little girl off the streets was, needless to say, not part of the plan. Ari had no idea what he was doing with an eight year old. He especially didn’t know how to juggle taking contracts and raising a little girl.

When it comes to hockey, I'm all about the game. I've worked for years to be one of the best in the league, and l've done it without splashing my orientation all over the tabloids. My hockey image is one I've carefully cultivated, and after one night with Ezra Palaszczuk, I risk it all. He's cocky, obnoxious, and has an ego bigger than Massachusetts. And okay, maybe he's the sexiest man I've ever known. We'll never get along. Not when we sleep together. Not even when my possessive streak awakens. That doesn't stop us from falling into bed together over and over again.

Publisher's Summary
A year has passed since the Dark Wizard Myrin attempted to take control of the Kingdom of Verania. Though the scars of the final battle remain, Veranians have come together in unity in order to rebuild. Good King Anthony sits on the throne once more, with Morgan of Shadows at his side.
However, a king is not immortal. One day, Anthony will step down, paving the way for his son, Grand Prince Justin, to assume the throne. And Justin wants anything but.
Unfortunately for him, he finds himself with bigger things to worry about than just becoming the ruler of a country. At the celebration of the might of Verania and its people, a delegation arrives, led by a man who calls himself a magician. This man represents the king of Yennbridge, who has come to claim what was promised to him years before: the hand of the firstborn son of the king and queen of Verania. With his ridiculous friends at his side—Sam, Ryan, Kevin, Gary, and Tiggy—Justin sets out to make the visiting king’s life a living hell. Which, of course, backfires spectacularly, and when the dust settles, Justin finds his friends changed in ways he can’t expect, leaving him standing alone.
Except he’s not as alone as he thinks, given the king of Yennbridge will do anything to prove he’s worthy of the frozen heart of the Ice Prince.
Prince Justin has finally met his match. Let the games begin.

SO GOOD
The Damning Stone by TJ Klune is the fifth book within the Tales of Verania series and brings us back to our much beloved magical land in a fun and exciting way.
In the fourth book, A Wish Upon a Star, Sam of Dragons concludes his Destiny arc and saves Verania from Myrin. I was interested to see what The Damning Stone was going to be about, as I kept my momentum with going into this series blind.
I was NOT disappointed. The Damning Stone picks up a year after Myrin was bested, and we get to see the way our beloved Veranians have come together in unity to rebuild. In a fun and exciting twist, this book is told through the point of view of the much beloved Prince Justin.
At the celebration of the might of Verania and its people, a delegation arrives with shocking news that will change the course of Justin’s life. They’re told that the hand of the firstborn son of the King and Queen of Verania was promised to them years before. With everything else that they’re recovering from, this is the last thing that Justin wants to deal with.
But with his friends at his side, Justin sets out to make the visiting king’s life a living hell. Only, frat-bro Dylan is nothing like he expected, and he meets Justin every step of the way.
Hands down, The Damning Stone is my favourite book in this entire series. While Verania as a whole holds a very soft spot in my heart, this novel stood out above the rest. It feels like a through and through romance in a way the others aren’t, and I think that’s possibly why I fell so in love with this story. At my heart, I’m a sucker for a good romance, and The Damning Stone is an AMAZING romance.
While I was shocked by it, I am so glad that this book was from Justin’s POV. I’ve always loved him, ever since the very first time he and Sam had it out and I realized Justin wasn’t really bad, he was just… lonely. I’ve been rooting for him since that moment, and I fell in love with him as interim King during A Wish Upon a Star. Seeing him in this novel, and getting to see his POV, was such an amazing treat!
And holy hell, did I ever love Justin. He’s such a grumpy character, but his grump is really just a cover for his bleeding heart. He cares so much, almost too much, and he’s so scared that he’s not good enough. Being able to submerge myself into Justin’s POV made everything about him make more sense, and I just love love love how he so reluctantly cares for everyone with his whole heart.
It was actually really really interesting to see how the death of his mother has affected him throughout his life. Every single scene he had with his dad had my heart fit to bursting even with the shadow or her sometimes hanging over Justin.
It was just all around really lovely to see this deeper look at Justin as a character, and I’m so happy this book was from his point of view!
As much as I love Justin in this book… DYLAN. EVERYTHING ABOUT DYLAN??? We stan one (1) himbo and that is KING DYLAN!!! Literally Dylan is probably one of my favourite characters in the entire Verania universe now. He is such a gentle giant of a man, and he’s so so so hot. The way that he so earnestly shows up and is so ready to care for Justin just totally made my heart melt!
He was also hilarious. And kind-hearted! He cared about his Kingdom so much, which was lovely to see, and he was just so easy going! The way he was with the kids melted my heart too. Literally, just DYLAN. Everything about Dylan was just so, so good.
The way that Justin trusted in Dylan and held true to him holy fuck
While I totally fell in love with Prince Justin and King Dylan during the course of this book, I also fell in love with their budding love. The relationship that slowly builds between these two is absolutely perfect. The pacing is amazing, and the way that Dylan slowly slips past Justin’s defences had me all but jumping with joy as I cheered him on.
One of my favourite parts about this whole book is the way that Justin’s trust and affection for Dylan is tested, and they both hold true. Justin could have easily given up on the bond between them and threw away their tenuous affection, but he didn’t. He held true to his feelings for Dylan and Dylan’s feelings for him, and it was that moment that made this book stand out so much for me.
I LOVED that we got to see Justin fully let Dylan in as he chose to trust the man he was slowly falling in love with.
While the romance killed me, there is also such a heartbreaking theme of friendship. Due to Sam’s magic, Sam and co. are transformed into children with the barest hints of their memories. Seeing Justin crave HIS Sam made me literally want to cry my eyes out every single time the two of them were on page together!
The other part of this book that I LOVED was Lady Tina being certifiably insane. She was bonkers, and I loved that she was the villain? It was such a fun twist, and I was low-key cheering her on. Of course, I was cheering on our boys MORE, but I did like that she was truly unhinged.
Like all of Klune’s books, the sex between these two is well done. There was something particularly hot about the way Dylan dommed it right up, and I loved seeing these two come together like that. Seriously, this book has it all!
All in all, The Damning Stone by TJ Klune was my favourite novel in the Tales of Verania series. With strong characters and a stronger romance, this has cemented its place as one of my favourite Klune books. Even if I don’t ever reread this whole series, I will DEFINITELY be rereading this one as it sits at a super high five-star rating!
