Ryazan, one of the grandest cities in all Rus', lays along the war path of thousands of Tatar warriors eager to seize the spoils of a short-fought campaign. Having set up camp just beyond the city, they await a reply from the envoys of Grand Prince Yuriy.
As the Grand Prince deliberates, his boyars both caution and counsel him. If Ryazan falls, the rest of Rus' may be next ─ an outcome his people grow ever more wary of, turning to priests and old rituals alike as rumor and fear run rampant inside the city walls.
Finally left untended, the Polovtsian princess Yanay, conquered once before, now betrothed to one of the Grand Prince's brothers, quietly observes these developments. She prays to her old gods when she can and aligns herself with a young Tatar captive and quick-thinking kinsman, all the while secretly seeking her freedom and revenge.
──────── ☽ ◯ ☾ ────────
A retelling of the Siege of Ryazan complete with rageful women and warrior princes; spirits both kind and cunning; and tragedy aplenty.

This Princess is a Fraud
When Princess Reva vanishes under mysterious-and bloody-circumstances, the kingdom braces for chaos. To prevent a political collapse, Alec, the ruthless King of Haints, recruits Kali-a fiery young knight who looks exactly like the missing princess-to take her place. Thrust into royal gowns, court politics, and a fake romance with a monster she should fear, Kali must play her role flawlessly... or die trying. But the deeper she slips into Reva's life, the more she discovers about the lies, betrayals, and supernatural forces stalking the kingdom. As enemies close in and secrets spiral out of control, one truth becomes clear: Wearing a crown is easy. Surviving the deception is not. Alec: Life is a game of chess. Everyone is a pawn. They move as I command... and none of them realizes how close I am to checkmate. Kali: Everyone wears a mask. Smiles are currency. Trust is a myth. Family is a risk. And the one person you should never rely on- is yourself.Complet
