Intrigue abounds in this hotly anticipated sequel to The Kiss of Deception!
Held captive in the barbarian kingdom of Venda, Lia and Rafe have little chance of escape. Desperate to save her life, Lia's erstwhile assassin, Kaden, has told the Vendan Komizar that she has the gift, and the Komizar's interest in Lia is greater than anyone could have foreseen.
Meanwhile, nothing is straightforward: there's Rafe, who lied to Lia, but has sacrificed his freedom to protect her; Kaden, who meant to assassinate her but has now saved her life; and the Vendans, whom Lia always believed to be barbarians. Now that she lives amongst them, however, she realizes that may be far from the truth. Wrestling with her upbringing, her gift, and her sense of self, Lia must make powerful choices that will affect her country... and her own destiny.

Why I'm Waiting...
I've made it a personal goal for me to read more fantasy this year, and so far, I've made good on that promise. Reading the first book in this series, The Kiss of Deception, was a rewarding experience for me because I was able to discover a new world that's full of lies, secrets, and love. I really enjoyed the first book in the series, and I'm looking forward to finding out what happens with Lia, Rafe, Kaden, Pauline, and the rest of the characters in this new novel.
Another series that I see everyone raving about and I haven't even started it yet! I'm o behind on my blogging :( Great pick though! I adore the cover for this one!
