The Returned Prince by Elle Kish is the second book in the Traveler of Heart series, a romantasy novel about a 36-year-old mom from our world who is transported to the fae realm after a tragic accident. The story follows protagonist Daphne Silver as she navigates newfound magic, dragons, and a Fae king, all while trying to find a way to bring her children to this new world, facing life-altering choices and unexpected twists.

In a genre too often plagued by gatekeeping and antiquated standards, author Penn Cole has emerged as a formidable voice—an advocate, disruptor, and undeniable force within the fantasy romance space. Her presence is more than literary—it's a reclamation of a world long fenced off to female authors under the guise of “serious fantasy.” With her Kindred Cursed Saga, she doesn’t just pen stories—she dismantles stigmas.
