Poison And The Blade (He Broke The Glass, She Trusted The Blade)

princess Isabella von omerta had the life most dare not even dream of. she was the envy of the elite, the nobles of the kingdom of Omerta. she had beauty unparalleled to any other in the kingdom or her lineage. built from fragments of her ancestors. silver hair that glistened like god weaved stars into it. and eyes, blue, so deep you could fall into the abyss, drown without a care. the glass rose of Omerta. beautiful and fragile.

As the only daughter of king Sethys II of omerta and Queen Lucienne, she had wealth more than she could ever find use for, jewels and riches beyond man's imagination, a kingdom she would inherit, loyal subjects, doting parents, she wore not a dress more than once. everything that left her lips or not was served at her feet. some may call her spoiled but to her they were envious, she wasn't wrong, no. she revelled in that hate. it validated her high opinions.

However, everything changes when she declines the proposal for the neighboring kingdom crown prince, he hadn't met her standards. much like many before him. many from far and wide, highs and lows. no one was ever good enough.

But what happens when the one she rejected had his love and heartbreak twisted into vengeance?

Zade Bloodworth..... an outlaw under no kingdom, someone who lead an entire force of outcasts and society's unfit. a man with a reputation that scared all that walked the lands.

kings and criminals alike. afterall, he was responsible for the assassination of royals and dismemberment of criminal forces. he took no sides. he simply went where the good cash was. and this once it was the target on the back of the princess of Omerta.

the demand was simple. bring her to the crown prince and claim his prize.

but amongst the hatred and pettiness between the two. would there be space for something more? vulnerability perhaps?

a story ensnared in betrayal, angst and heartbreak. for what is love? if not poison with no cure.
