The Pretender's Crown
Fiercely intelligent, beautiful, and ready to claim her birthright, she
navigates a dangerous world torn between war and witchpower.
Seduction and stealth are Belinda Primrose’s skills – weapons befitting the queen’s bastard daughter, a pawn of espionage conceived by Lorraine, ruler of
Aulun, and her lover and spymaster, Belinda’s father. Now an
accomplished assassin, Belinda uncovers the true game her father never
intended her to play. For Belinda has found her witchpower, a legacy
born from something not of this earth. In a treacherous world where
religion and rebellion rule, Lorraine is now in a position to sweep over the countries of Echon and to back her chosen successor to the throne:
Belinda.
But Belinda is no longer anyone’s pawn. Lured by the
sensual dark magic of Dmitri, envoy to a neighboring throne, yet still
drawn to the witchlord embrace of her former lover, Javier, Belinda
knows that she has entered a realm where power and control go to those
who can master and manipulate their fiercest desires. For the witchpower depends on the skill its wielder holds.
