About this listen
A cursed princess, a soulless pirate, and a deal that could change both of their fates. In a realm full of monsters, shadows are stolen, and promises are bound with blood… and sometimes marriage vows.
Princess by birth and sacrificial lamb by royal decree, Scarlet Midicious is ready to face her fate. She's known her entire life that this day would come. Her wedding… The gauntlet… and likely her funeral.
However, on the night of the gauntlet, she meets a mysterious man with striking green eyes and a sin-worthy smirk. He has no knowledge of what her gift is—that she has an extraordinary ability to control the living like puppets—but he knows the king's daughters are gifted in some way or another.
He offers her a deal. If Scarlet helps him win, then he'll make sure she has a peaceful life and a chance to see the world. In the face of a gruesome future, she accepts his terms. How much worse can it be? It's better than marrying a monster, and so far, that applies to all the creatures who have entered.
There's only one problem... Okay, two problems.
The man she's just struck a deal with is Sebastian Hook, a notorious rebel pirate wanted for crimes beyond her imagination. And there's only one thing the infamous Dark One hates more than Pan: Witches. And Scarlet happens to be marked as one.
All aboard the Jolly Roger—if you dare.
This Wicked Curse is an enemies-to-lovers tale featuring a slightly unhinged shadow daddy with a broken moral compass. The world is dark, but it's also full of adventure and magic. This story is a spellbinding fusion of Peter Pan and Greek Mythology, reimagined into a dark pirate fantasy romance, and takes place within Amanda Aggie's Seven Realms World.
This Wicked Curse predates the events of This Wicked Fate. It is a standalone, like the rest of the Realm of Monsters series, and you do not need to listen to any of Amanda's other books to understand or enjoy This Wicked Curse.

Story
As a vampyr who was born to fulfill a prophecy, my life was planned before I was created. I obeyed every rule, and I became the perfect vampyr, but one night changed everything. Rejected by the man who was destined for me, who was supposed to love me forever, I do the only thing I can. I flee into the night, nursing my broken heart. Being a rejected mate corrupts the soul, however, and in this game of Courts and Kings, nobody wins. Nobody except the monsters in the shadows.

Story
I didn't think pulling off for a quick bite to eat in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere would change everything. I was wrong. Now, I'm running through the forest wearing nothing but a red cloak, being hunted by wolves. I'm desperate, terrified, and not ready to die. When they attack, I know this is it. Except…it isn't. Because the den of wolves that bite me somehow turns into men. Men who swear I'm just like them—a shifter. And as much as I don't want to believe them, I'm not sure they're wrong.

It was supposed to be easy: find the drug maker. Find her, and drag her back to the dragons to deal with. She deserves death for what she's done. For someone like Weston, the best alpha in the world, the one who shuts people up just by walking in the room, it would've been. Until he learns what she is. Finding a fated mate is nearly impossible. Very few are able to do it. But the call of their bond is unmistakable. Against all odds, and in the worst situation imaginable, he's found his true mate. Her.

Story
I'm the Princess of Solaria, a realm full of beasts that could make the Devil cower. That title means nothing because I'll be dead by the week's end. Like my sisters before me, the moment I turned twenty-three, my father announced a gauntlet. A fight to the death, where the most ruthless of the land could try to claim me as their bride. Desperate, I entered the gauntlet and fought for my own hand. But the mad king is a twisted monster who loves to play tricks, and now, instead of wearing a crown, I'm a prisoner, set to be executed for defying the king's tradition.

The auction block awaits, and a vicious vampire prince wants me and what flows through my veins. So I make a run for it, only to end up falling at the feet of a fae warden. Technically, Roar, the Warden of the West, should return me to the vampire court, but he has other ideas. He needs a fake fiancée. The deal: if I play his dutiful partner at the Winter Court and help him trick the cold King of Winter, Roar will hide me from the blood-suckers intent on draining the life from me. I agree, and for a while, it seems like nothing can go wrong. That is until Vale sets his sights on me.

I'm Alice, and for years, I've had dreams about talking to the Devil. They're not nightmares. In fact, they're far from it. Our conversations are innocent, but certainly not normal. Though, if I'm honest, I'm not even sure what about my life is . . . I always thought that someday my namesake would prove true, and I'd get a fairy tale of my own. After all, I live in a world where magic exists, so why not hope? However, instead of a rabbit, what came to whisk me away was a vicious beast with green eyes. And instead of taking me to Wonderland, it dragged me kicking and screaming to Hell.

Pirates, magic, romance, humor - exactly what I was looking for!
I had been craving a fantasy pirate book that wouldn’t be a series long commitment. When I found this book in a Google search, I knew I had to give it a try. I’m so glad I did!
Since it is a standalone, sometimes the plot does feel a little rushed where with a series you’d get more drawn out situations and adventures, but nothing that was disappointing.
This book has a little bit of everything I was looking for - pirates, magic, romance, humor - and even a few things I wasn’t expecting like the interesting twist on the age old story of pan versus hook and the stolen shadow.
If you’re looking for a quick but satisfying, standalone fantasy, pirate romance, you’ve come to the right place!
Also, the voice actors for the two character perspectives did a really great job and embodied the characters well with great inflection and tone. A solid performance by both.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
