The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson (9781399701136)

Description - The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson

'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
