A disgraced noblewoman returns to the empire that destroyed her, disguised as a foreign prince, to burn down the royal family from the inside through one seduction, one secret, and one corpse at a time. *** She was meant to ascend to greatness. Instead, they buried her alive. Solace Mercy Grace Partridge was destined to become the youngest Imperial Librarian in Sanfelton's history until jealousy, lies, and a cruel prince named Kohl Sanfelton destroyed everything. Framed, branded, and exiled to a prison island, she was meant to disappear. She didn't. Rescued by Xīwàng, the enigmatic god-king of an enemy nation, Solace is offered a dangerous bargain: disguise herself as his fiancée and a Calashan prince, infiltrate the empire that betrayed her, and spy for him. In return, she gets her revenge. As the foreign noble Kaashif, Solace navigates a glittering court crawling with secrets, and three imperial princes who each want something from her. One seeks to own her. One seeks to use her. And one, the monster who ruined her life, doesn't yet realize the prey has become the predator. But Xīwàng is more than her handler. He's kind, broken, and dangerously easy to love. And the longer Solace wears her mask, the harder it becomes to remember who she's supposed to be. Vengeance has a price. So does the heart. #2 in genderbender on 4/7/2023 ***Amby Awards Top Pick for Young Adult 2023*** ***Featured on Stories Undiscovered for September 2023*** *** 1st place Literary Book Award from @Kiannawrites01 October 2023*** In Sanfelton, the nobles play games with lives, but with Solace, all bets are off.
