The Princess and the Shadow Blade - Blades of the Broken Crown, Book Two DESCRIPTION:
Lyara has spent years in the royal archives, mapping a conspiracy that everyone else is too afraid to look at directly. Kael has spent thirty years being shaped into the perfect operative - trained to want nothing, feel nothing, need nothing beyond the assignment. When he is sent to extract her from a closing net of enemies, neither of them is prepared for what proximity and honesty can do to a man who has never been asked what he wants. An unlikely-companions romance with deep emotional resonance, found-family warmth, and a heroine whose greatest weapon is her refusal to stop asking questions - this is a story about learning to want something for yourself, one dangerous mile at a time. - Dark romantasy novel with bodyguard-to-lovers romance, emotional depth, and political intrigue
- Perfect for fans of romantasy novels with slow-burn love stories
- Features an emotionally wounded hero learning to reconnect with humanity and desire
- Conspiracy thriller elements: hidden patterns in royal records, assassinations disguised as natural deaths
- Standalone romance in a connected series (Book Two of six) - new couple per book, deepening world-spanning conspiracy
- Found family themes, road-trip romantic tension, and a heroine with brilliant investigative instincts
