## Description

'A tightly paced adventure full of knife-sharp romance' Stephanie Garber 'A deeply satisfying, intricately plotted fantasy where no one - no one - is quite what they seem' Robin LaFevers It can take years to mold a dream. It takes only a fraction of a second for it to be shattered. The Kingdom of Morrighan is steeped in tradition and the stories of a bygone world, but some traditions Lia can't abide. Like having to marry someone she's never met to secure a political alliance. Fed up and ready for a new life, Lia escapes to a distant village on the morning of her wedding. She settles in among the common folk, intrigued when two mysterious and handsome strangers arrive - and unaware that one is the jilted prince and the other an assassin sent to kill her. Deceptions swirl and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous secrets - secrets that may unravel her world - even as she feels herself falling in love. The first book in the twisted and fast-paced New York Times bestselling Remnant Chronicles.
