BOOK THREE IN THE JEWELS OF THE NINE KINGDOMS SERIES
She sailed to the Palace of a Thousand Suns with fourteen years of certainty and a heart full of plans.
The court dismantled both.
Princess Adelise of Tremore thought she knew the man she crossed Issoirea to marry. But the boy prince she remembers is nowhere to be found. In his place stands an emperor: harder, quieter, hiding a secret he buried from the entire court.
X?en Emperor ShunLi married Adelise to honour a promise. He did not expect her to be impossible to ignore—or to see straight through the mask he showed no one.
In a court where every smile conceals a knife—and love is a liability—two people are about to discover that the most dangerous thing in the Palace of a Thousand Suns isn't the conspiracy threatening the throne. It's each other.
But Adelise of Tremore did not survive a dungeon to be served illusions.
Some love stories begin as fairytales.
She's determined to forge this one into something real.
