The Kiss of Deception (The Remnant Chronicles #1)by Mary E. Pearson
Description:
A princess must find her place in a reborn world.
She flees on her wedding day.
She steals ancient documents from the Chancellor's secret collection.
She is pursued by bounty hunters sent by her own father.
She is Princess Lia, seventeen, First Daughter of the House of Morrighan.
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 flees 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.
My Review:
This one is great. Borrowed the audiobook.
One of the nice features is the fact that a different voice actor was used for each of the love interests, the assassin and the prince. It definitely helped keep them straight in the audiobook.
I did get a little confused in places about whom Lia was interacting with. Particularly at first trying to figure out who was Kaden and who was Rafe based on Lia's interactions with them and then their own chapters.
Recommended for sure! Fans of fantasy fiction and romance will likely enjoy this.
