About this ebook
A clever librarian is forced to marry a king she cannot understand in this award-winning, fantasy romance by the author of The Talon of the Hawk.
Magic has broken free over the Twelve Kingdoms. The population is beset by shapeshifters and portents, landscapes that migrate, uncanny allies who are not quite human...and enemies eager to take advantage of the chaos.
Dafne Mailloux is no adventurer—she’s a librarian. But the High Queen trusts Dafne’s ability with languages, her way of winnowing the useful facts from a dusty scroll, and even more important, the subtlety and guile that three decades under the thumb of a tyrant taught her.
Dafne never thought to need those skills again. But she accepts her duty. Until her journey drops her into the arms of a barbarian king. He speaks no tongue she knows but that of power, yet he recognizes his captive as a valuable pawn. Dafne must submit to a wedding of alliance, becoming a prisoner-queen in a court she does not understand. If she is to save herself and her country, she will have to learn to read the heart of a wild stranger. And there are more secrets written there than even Dafne could suspect...
2017 RITA® Award Winner for Best Paranormal Fantasy Romance
Perfect for Game of Thrones fans looking for more romance.

Loved it! Could not put it down! I would have loved this story to continue into a trilogy but it appears the next book is a story following another character. I really hope I enjoy it as much as the first book, i was not ready for their story to end just when it felt like it was beginning!

The first few chapters are a little difficult to get through due to the amount of information but once you do, this book turns into something magnificent. I loved every page.
