Synopsis

Red, White & Royal Blue meets A Darker Shade of Magic in this swoony young adult romantasy debut that’s an “entertaining blend of romance and action” (Kirkus Reviews) following a magical young prince and a noble seer who fall in love in the midst of war and intrigue.

Shy Prince Edmund will be a great king one day: it has been Seen again and again. With rare magic giving him dominion over the nation’s plants and weather, Edmund feels a great deal of pressure to live up to the people of Saben’s many expectations, including making a perfect diplomatic alliance through marriage. That is, until he meets Lord Aubrey Ainsley.

Charming, romantic, and politically insignificant, Aubrey is a Seer, but not even he could have predicted catching the eye of Edmund, the Prince of Fortune—nor that the anxious prince who talks to plants more than people could feel so right for him. Aubrey’s dream-visions have been full of battle, not love, but to say that Prince Edmund has captured his fancy would be a grand understatement.

As the two become more and more intertwined, the nation of Saben falls under attack. War and dark sorcery loom on the horizon. To save their homeland, Edmund and Aubrey must resist the outside forces seeking to drive them apart and find the power within themselves to create a future for Saben—and each other—they never could have imagined.

Goodreads review by Alex on October 21, 2024

It is 12:30 AM, and I am crying happy tears over this book as we speak. I loved it. Both of our protagonists were so sweet and so kind and so strong in their own ways, but also grew so so much through the various events in this book. It was really really refreshing to read two boys being good people,......more

Goodreads review by Krystal on April 05, 2025

DNF @ pg 174 (43%) This was just really not for me. It's more romance than fantasy, and it's insta-love to boot. It was too much, too soon and really turned me off reading instantly. The writing is okay but very 'ye olde English' so it slows down an already slow story. There's a slight flicker of an int......more

Goodreads review by Amr on September 25, 2024

Lisa Tirreno’s A Prince of Fortune is set in a world that is filled with the misery of war, political intrigue, and an incredibly unique magic system. Yet, somehow, the romance still managed to be the highlight of the story for me. It’s simply an incredibly wholesome and sweet love story that I coul......more

4.25-4.5⭐ rounded up for GR - if I could hug these two I would in a heartbeat. Despite being set during a war, this book is so soft and sweet, mostly due to its two MCs who care so deeply for each other and the people around them. Edmund, as the titular prince, has a sense of duty that makes him fee......more

Quotes

"Narrators Raphael Corkhill and James Meunier give a compelling shared performance of this fantasy. When Prince Edmund and Aubrey meet for the first time, they have an instant connection that quickly blooms into more. But their country of Saben is on the brink of war—Aubrey and the other Seers have foreseen it in visions. Corkhill is convincing as brave, devoted Aubrey, who brings out the best in Meunier’s shy Edmund. The story unfolds in what feels like a series of vignettes as Aubrey fights terrible battles against monstrous soldiers and Edmund worries for Aubrey and agonizes over whether his own magic will be enough to end the war—and whether he and Aubrey will win their fight to be together."
