She would know the world of vengeful gods and monsters, and the lengths one would go for love.
As she digs deeper into this sacred garden and the ancient feud between Ybaris and Islor, she discovers monstrous truths that could spell ruin for all..
Romeria sees no other option and embraces the tricky role of smitten queen-to-be until she can escape, a ruse that brings her far closer to the king than she anticipated and threatens more than her safety.
Zander gives her a choice: life in a cell, or an acquittal of all charges in exchange for her help in exposing the growing plot against him.
Fortunately for Romeria, she is more valuable to him alive than dead.
Her betrothed, the newly crowned King Zander, detests her with every grain of his handsome being.
But the identity she has inexplicably assumed is that of the captured Ybarisan princess-an enemy to Islor after she poisoned their beloved king and queen on the day she was to marry the prince.
Her quest is straightforward: Steal a stone from Islor\'s sacred garden without anyone discovering her true identity, which would earn her certain death.
But when an enigmatic woman secures her services at swordpoint, Romeria is plunged into a startling realm of opposing thrones, warring elven, and elemental magic she cannot begin to fathom.
Now she thrives, stealing jewels from the rich under the involuntary employ of New York City\'s most notorious crime boss.
Gifted thief Romeria has flourished from her days as a street kid pilfering wallets to survive.
And nothing would ever be the same for her again.
