From the author of Light & Shadow and Saira & the Dragon's Egg comes an epic tale of vengeance, desire, and deadly intrigue ... Emperor Darion II is seeking a common-born bride, and Alleyne would give anything for the chance to entice him, win even a moment alone with him … … and kill him. Years ago it was Darion who had her mother and father executed, and since that day, Alleyne has plotted vengeance on the man who took her family from her. Now she has her chance. But there’s a lot Alleyne hasn’t counted on. The court abounds with secrets and plots. Dark magic swirls, and soon she discovers that Darion’s death would touch off a devastating war. And when Alleyne comes face to face with the emperor at last, she begins to question the desire for revenge that has become the very core of her being. ** Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass and Courtlight **
Author
I am a transplant to the frozen wastes of the midwest, learning to love fried food on a stick, hot dish, and the winters. Having recently bought a house, I am also learning everything from how to wire chandeliers to how best to paint a room. (Also, I spend too much time at Menard's.) I have been writing since I was old enough to read, and I write on every scrap of paper I can get my hands on. In the meantime, I read - oh, I read so much! I like to read articles about science, about economics, about psychology and neuroscience and sociology... Some of my greatest character inspiration has come from true-life tales of people at the center of historical events, and some of it has come from the "what-ifs" that academic inquiry produces. I encourage you to stop past my website for the latest news on my work! You can find print copies of my work on Amazon and CreateSpace, and my books are available for Kindle, Nook, and through all channels served by Smashwords!
