Realm of Desire and Deceit

by Nina Frost

Genre: Romance Fantasy

132 pages

A new kingdom. A stolen secret. And a darkness that refuses to stay buried.

In a world where magic was restored to everyone, Princess Esme Solvain of Meridia received nothing. As a Warden-in-Training, the only power she possesses is Warden magic, which barely counts in the eyes of her father and perfect twin sister, Calla. Determined to prove she’s more than the kingdom’s greatest disappointment, she takes on a dangerous mission: retrieve an ancient artifact that can stop the deadly Withering from ravaging Meridia.

Except the artifact disappears when the seller Esme arranges to meet ends up murdered and Agnar—the fierce general of Tirene who saved her life only moments before—thinks she’s involved.

Forced into an uneasy alliance, they race to recover the artifact before the Withering consumes everything. But the more time Esme spends with the ruthless man at her side, the harder it becomes to ignore the undeniable pull between them…or the dangerous secrets they’re both hiding. When they uncover another malevolent darkness threatening not only Meridia but the entire world, Esme’s forced to choose between duty and the first man who’s ever made her feel alive.

Buried secrets, dangerous desire, and the fate of the world collide in Realm of Desire and Deceit, the spellbinding new chapter in the world of the Dragons of Tirene series by Nina Frost.
