What can a slave girl do when she's but a pawn in a game of kings? Sent to infiltrate the enemy kingdom as the new bride of the King of Palandyre, Cinclair has only one goal in mind: the prize is her freedom, the price is his life, and the task is murder.But the man she must kill ignites in her a fire she cannot quench, sends her blood racing with the first flash of his grin and the tilt of his brow, and it feels like a dagger in her gut to see him falling for a mask she wears and the lies she's spun, because one more day his passion grows means one less day that he may live. As stakes climb higher and the war drums pound louder outside the castle walls, the hour of his death draws unforgivably near.But the heart cannot kill what the heart beats for... and her heart beats for his.[ cover by @VaineLuchia ]โ€ฆ

"Princeling, child of forest fair, seek the star in dragon's lair," said the witch with ragged hair. So the Princeling journeyed forth and far, and found a dragon with scales of tar, and cut its head and stole its star. Said the star, "I am freed by thee. I will show you mercy and let you flee, for I am a curse, once trapped, now free." And the Princeling knelt by the dragon's head, the Princeling wept and the dragon bled, a bitter tear on a dragon dead. - from To Kill a Kingโ€ฆ
