In a society that was deeply steeped in tradition, the life of Princess Lia followed a preordained course. As the First Daughter, she was expected to have the revered gift of the sight – but she does not. And she knew pretty well that her parents were perpetrating a sham when they arranged her marriage. This was meant to secure an alliance with a close, neighbouring kingdom. It was to a prince whom she had never met or seen before.
Right on the morning of her big day, Lia fled to a distant village. She settled down into a new life and was hopeful when a couple of mysterious and charming strangers arrived there. She was unaware that one of them was the jilted prince and the other was an assassin who was sent there to kill her. Deception abounded, and Lia discovered herself on the edge of unlocking a few perilous secrets…
The story of The Kiss of Deception is really good. You will especially like the twist in the love interest of the characters. The narration was top-notch and that made everything beautiful about this book.
