The countries of Arkadia and Tauris have always been on the constant brink of war, the hatred a result from a single act of kindness. The kingdom of Lystra stands between the two, keeping the peace. It's almost always a losing battle.
Princess Nova of Lystra has always been taught to keep the peace, no matter the cost. But when secrets about her family's past surface, she's left wondering if it's peace or secrets that she's been trained to keep.
Ripped out of her idealistic little world by betrayal, lies, and cruelty- she's learning the true price of peace.

Everyone's attention was focused on the King, and he relished that fact.
"I will announce your engagement to my son at a ball tomorrow," he said matter-of-factly.
"Like hell, you will" she spat, struggling to control her violent temper.
"Ah, but you will marry him," he said, smiling indulgently, "you see, everyone has a price. Whether it's a price they can't refuse or a price they aren't willing to pay."

Unraveling The Heart
After everything that happened, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off with Nova. I told myself I needed to check on her and make sure she was okay. I pushed open her door, and the sight of her almost stopped my heart. She was sitting on the floor, her back against the bed, eyes unfocused, her hand shaking as she brought another pill to her lips. My pulse quickened. "Nova?" My voice cracked, louder than I intended. She didn't respond at first, just continued, almost robotic, taking more. I rushed to her side, grabbing her wrist and forcing her to look at me. The fear in her eyes wasn't something I had ever seen before-not from her. I wasn't ready for this, but now that I was here, I couldn't look away. "What the hell are you doing?" I demanded, my voice rougher than I meant. She didn't answer. Her breath was shallow, and she seemed so... far away. The confident, strong Nova I knew was gone, replaced by someone broken. Someone who needed saving. I knew I had to be here for her, no matter what. Nova Rae Westbrook Her life seemed perfect-beautiful, smart, and unbothered by the world around her.

A man with many faces, none of them truly his.
