What her people need, or what her heart wants?


Destined to unite the war-torn kingdoms of humans and Fae, Princess Sorcha must do her duty. But her heart has other ideas.


The road to Fae-lands is long, and her Fae escort, Lord Conall, is handsome, dashing, and brave-all things a loyal knight should be. Yet no fae wants a human queen, and more war is on the horizon. Her betrothed, High King of the Fae, has secrets of his own, and she's not sure that he's her destiny. But her handsome knight and her heart will have to stand aside, for the princess has a duty-her people need this alliance. Until terrible secrets are exposed and the princess must choose between upholding her duty or following her dreams. 


One mistake, one wrong choice and it's not just her heart that will suffer, it's her entire kingdom...

She's too old, too plain, and much too dangerous to dismiss. 

 

But when the world's fate rests on Halina's sword, will she remain loyal to her king or follow her heart?


Militess Halina is an accomplished leader, a fearsome soldier, and the unapologetically tough bastard daughter of Ursinum's king. When she's ordered to gain the allegiance of Shadow Mage Gethen — a notoriously dangerous necromancer whose brother is an enemy king — she assumes the negotiations will be simple: Either he'll pledge his loyalty or she'll remove his head.


But the Shadow Mage isn't what she expected, nor is his situation. Intriguing and powerful, Gethen's the only man preventing the return of an ancient menace that threatens their world. And though he hates to admit it, his sorcery is failing, and he needs her help.


Suddenly Ursinum's dispute with Gethen's brother seems petty, and Halina must decide who's best served by her sword: her king or every man, woman, and child in the four kingdoms and beyond.

I'm pursued by four dragon shifter princes competing to see who can catch me first.


If they think I'm an easy target, they're wrong. I'm an assassin who's looking for them.


I'm also a noble daughter of the Aureate Court, but I prefer my secret life in a world of mercenaries and thieves. As a child, I never questioned why my mother allowed this and I happily lived away from court. As an adult, I’ve found myself in a delicate situation with the seductive Sapphire dragon prince and discovered the truth.


My family hid me from the lethal dragon elders because I contain the essence of their Ebon Queen.


The Ebon dragons once destroyed the other flights and unleashed horrors on the human and elven realms. Now that the Ebon Queen and her flight are eradicated, anybody containing Ebon essence could face death.


Somebody needs to explain to me how and why because I'm no longer hidden, and four arrogant and dangerous dragon princes are hunting me.Velanor, the Ruby Prince, would happily see me die because I embody the flight that killed his people. The elders have promised not to harm me if I go to their city but can I believe them?


Whichever prince returns me to the elders first earns prestige, and Velanor intends to win their competition by any means necessary.


Unfortunately for him, his victory comes at a cost and creates a situation neither of us want.


Can the other princes protect me? Because If I truly do contain the soul of the Ebon Queen, and I unleash her magic to defend myself from Velanor and the elders, I'm unsure who's in the most danger.


Them or me.
