Title: Warrior Princess Assassin

Series: Braided Fate #1

BLURB


WARRIOR. King Maddox Kyronan’s fire magic has earned him a ruthless reputation on the battlefield, but now his kingdom is slowly burning. Ky’s only chance to save his people is to enter a marriage alliance with the neighboring nation of Astranza, and hope that the royal family’s power to manipulate the weather will help his land flourish once more. He just needs to ensure no one finds out how the blaze began.

PRINCESS. With war looming on the horizon, Princess Jory’s home needs the protection of the fearsome warrior king, but she is hiding a dangerous secret: her family’s magic is fading. Tempting as it is to reject her duties and run away with her childhood friend, Asher, Jory knows that she is the kingdom’s last hope. When she meets her intended, Jory is surprised to discover that beneath Ky’s daunting exterior is a compassionate and sharp-witted man who sets her heart aflame. But what will he do when he realizes she’s deceiving him?

ASSASSIN. Asher’s done what he must to survive, even if that means getting his hands dirty. Once a young nobleman in Astranza’s palace, where he and Jory caused mischief together, now he’s part of the Hunter’s Guild, employing much darker skills. When a lucrative job comes his way, Asher can’t say no—until he discovers the targets. Someone wants Ky and Jory dead. With the Guild watching, Asher must decide what he’s willing to do to protect the woman he loves.

Book read in 1 sitting because I was so glued to it = complete.

‘Love is the fiercest weapon.’

Warrior – King Ky
Princess – Jory
Assassin – Asher

All thrown together with friendship, a betrothal and an assassination plot.

Political machinations, secrets, alliances, heartbreaking moments and anticipation/tension. Delish!

I started to realise something halfway through. OMG what. Can it be? The anticipation to see if I am right! I AM RIGHT AND WHEN IT HAPPENS IT WAS SO HOT! (Sorry, totally cryptic!)

Perfection. Can’t wait to see what happens next!
