Synopsis

There is no love lost between a Lachlian and a Varant...

Kestrel Lachlian's life is on the line all because she couldn't mind her own business. When Prince Isaac De Valanove pays a visit to Demacia, Kestrel finds herself in a precarious position. With the prince's blade to her enemy's throat, Kestrel should be pleased. Instead, she finds herself headed for the executioners block. Her charge? Murdering the prince to save Rosen Varant's life.

Rosen Varant knows a thing or two about filthy Lachlians, but never expected one to rush to his defense. Kestrel's actions set in motion a chain of events that lead to the destruction of the whole village-including her family and his. Despite the blood on her hands, he owes her a debt and won't go back on his code.

A daring rescue and narrow escape lead them to an uninhabited island where they discover there isn't much left to feud over, and combining their resources might be the best way to free their land from the evil queen's clutches once and for all. Challenging the queen in a rights contest for the crown is a death sentence, but one Kestrel is willing to accept in the name of revenge-even if she is ill-prepared for the games she must face.

About the Author

M. J. Padgett is first and foremost a mom. Her free-spirited kindergartener has quite the vivid imagination, and her antics sometimes find their way into her mommy's work. She is a lover of all things chocolate, a Grimm and Dickens addict, a self-proclaimed smarty-pants, and an introvert to the core.

Writing is her true passion (after raising her daughter, of course), and she writes as often as possible. One of her favorite things about writing is creating a world where people can escape reality for a little while, maybe even walk away feeling hopeful about the real world around them. When it comes to reading, she loves a book that can make her forget where she is no matter the genre. If she can get lost and feel like the characters are her real friends, she's a happy reader.
