The Kiss of Deception
The first book of the New York Times bestselling Remnant Chronicles
By Mary E. Pearson
Harry Hartog's review
This book starts off with a girl fleeing an arranged marriage. Her father sends an assassin after her. The rejected prince begins his own hunt. The catch is, we don’t know which man is the assassin and which is the prince until half way through the book! This series will keep you engaged all the way through. - Ash, Harry Hartog Maroochydore
Description
'A deeply satisfying, intricately plotted fantasy where no one - no one - is quite what they seem' Robin LaFevers, New York Times-bestselling author of Grave Mercy
The first book in the New York Times bestselling Remnant Chronicles.
The Kingdom of Morrighan is steeped in tradition and the stories of a bygone world, but some traditions Lia can't abide. Like having to marry someone she's never met to secure a political alliance.
Fed up and ready for a new life, Lia escapes to a distant village on the morning of her wedding. She settles in among the common folk, intrigued when two mysterious and handsome strangers arrive - and unaware that one is the jilted prince and the other an assassin sent to kill her. Deceptions swirl and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous secrets - secrets that may unravel her world - even as she feels herself falling in love.
'This is the kind of story I love - a heart-pounding tale of magic and murder, betrayal and romance set in a richly imagined fantasy landscape' Cindy Williams Chima, New York Times bestselling author of the Seven Realms
'The Kiss of Deception has it all - beautiful writing, heart-pounding suspense, a fiery princess, and an epic romance that'll make you swoon. This is definitely one of my favourite reads of the year!' Alyson Noel, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Immortals
