Twinkle Twinkle Little Scars
Twinkle Twinkle Little Scar... How everyone wonders where you are?
Princess Lyra of Bellatring is the sparkling diamond of her family. She’s polite, intelligent, beautiful, and the perfect match for the neighboring prince who is looking to unite their militaries. But even the brightest jewels can still possess flaws, or in Lyra’s case, armfuls of scars.
Unknown to her family, Lyra spends her evenings tinkering with magic stones under the starlight. It’s not uncommon for the temperamental stones to lash out and leave behind their marks, but a strategically planned wardrobe full of long sleeves helps keep her mild injuries concealed. Magic stones aren’t easy to get a hold of as a princess either, unless you have a stone-smuggling friend who delights in climbing your tower walls every night.
Stirling is a man of many names, if you can call him a man. His crooked leg, mismatched eyes, and lack of sanity tend to get him labeled as anything but human, though he takes pride in his complicated reputation. When Stirling senses danger for Lyra, he doesn’t hesitate to recommend that she marry the powerful prince who could keep her safe–until the wedding doesn’t come soon enough.
Both Lyra and Stirling are captured by power-hungry magic hunters, in search of the notorious inventor. The only problem is, their captors aren’t certain about who they’ve abducted, giving Stirling the chance to claim yet another name... The inventor. Will Lyra’s true identity be uncovered? Or will Stirling’s lie leave them wondering what they are?
