The Taste of Copper

Elara Blackwood has spent fifteen years learning how to be the perfect noble daughter.
Smile when spoken to.
Never question her mother.
Marry well.
She has never been particularly good at following rules.
When Prince Cassion announces that he is searching for a bride, Elara is forced into a competition she never wanted to enter. But Cassion isn't the arrogant prince she expected-and the more she learns about the royal family, the more she suspects there's something they're hiding.
Then Elara's carefully controlled life begins to unravel.

Because in Valis, secrets have a price.

And Elara is about to discover just how much hers are worth.
