About this ebook
Held captive in the barbarian kingdom of Venda, Lia and Rafe have little chance of escape . . . and even less of being together.
Desperate to save her life, Lia's erstwhile assassin, Kaden, has told the Vendan Komisar that she has a magical gift, and the Komisar's interest in Lia is greater than either Kaden or Lia foresaw.
Meanwhile, the foundations of Lia's deeply-held beliefs are crumbling beneath her. Nothing is straightforward: there's Rafe, who lied to her, but has sacrificed his freedom to protect her; Kaden, who meant to assassinate her but has now saved her life; and the Vendans, whom she always believed to be barbarians but whom she now realizes are people who have been terribly brutalized by the kingdoms of Dalbreck and Morrighan. Wrestling with her upbringing, her gift, and her very sense of self, Lia will have to make powerful choices that affect her country, her people . . . and her own destiny.

This kind of writing is not healthy for my heart. It started at a slow pace, but then… then nothing, it continued in the same torturing manner. Was it boring? Gods no! The tension just kept on building until I thought I will combust. And then I did.

AMAZING! Liked it even more than the first one. Downloaded it at 4am this morning and couldn't put it down until I was done, only disappointed that I'm finished already. Cannot wait for the next installment. May your pen write swiftly! 😉

I loved the book and though it ended differently than I thought it would I would wish away the time until book 3 comes out.. hopefully next year :)
