The Story
An action-packed enemies-to-lovers romantasy filled with a romance that will leave you breathless, betrayals that will rip your heart out, and a princess who will stop at nothing for revenge.
One year ago, Rowenna Harrack, the crown princess of Tashir, left her homeland in a wedding dress of chains--sent away to the enemy nation of Vanzador as a captive bride.
Now, Rowenna is dead. Brought home in a coffin after an alleged fall from a cliff.
Second-born princess, Indira, knows her sister's death was no accident. Desperate for truth and vengeance, Indira agrees to wed the prince so she can infiltrate Vanzador, find Rowenna's murderer, and burn their kingdom to the ground.
Indira's plan is simple, she will make nice until she can find out how to avenge her sister and free her country from the rival nation's stranglehold. But when Indira arrives, nothing is as terrible as Rowenna described. As Indira grows closer to her new husband, Prince Alaric, and uncovers more about Vanzador, the source of its powers, and what happened during Rowenna's final days, she's no longer sure what--and who--to believe. Because everyone, even her sister, has secrets. Deadly ones.
"Sharp as a dagger and just as deadly, Indira's daring quest for revenge and her romance forged in fury will keep you guessing and gasping until the breathless end." -Sarah Glenn Marsh, author of the Reign of the Fallen series

About the Author
Addie Thorley spent her childhood riding horses and scribbling stories. After graduating from the University of Utah with a degree in journalism, she decided "hard news" didn't contain nearly enough magic and kissing, so she flung herself into the land of fiction. She lives in San Diego with her family, and, when she's not writing, she can be found walking her wolfdogs or crocheting tiny stuffed animals.
