Years went by that I dreamt of a guy with a vicious grin and flaming emerald eyes.
The merciless mercenary leaves me for dead the day I meet him.
The gods seize what little authority humans have only hours after our birth. They defend our boundaries from the ferocious, heartless fae in exchange for this.
The corrupt are those people who are able to hold onto their authority.
They are also burnt.
My beloved life and my little hamlet are forced to leave me when my prohibited ability is uncovered.
I strike a desperate deal with the mercenary who deserted me when I was most vulnerable in order to live.
We have a basic agreement: I'll assist him in sneaking into the city with his enigmatic buddies. I've always kept my odd, dark power secret, but he'll teach me how to use it. The ability that could hold the secret to my survival.
However, the merciless hired gunman has his own secrets to hide. Secrets that put everyone I love in danger. Secrets that have the power to destroy this kingdom and even the whole globe.
Note that A Court This Cruel and Lovely is a steampunk NA/adult romance novel. The chili pepper rating for this slow-burning series will go up with each new volume.
