Pre-Order your Death and Daggers, Book Three of the Powerful Pawns Series in Paperback Here!
Safe, but at what cost?
I thought I knew the path ahead, but new discoveries have me questioning my very identity, and I am starting to realize that the fate of the world does not just rely on my ability to control my magick, but also my ability to control myself.
My past and present are colliding and I am unsure which pieces will be left on the board at the end of the game.
With the demoni invading Ptheryeth, an enemy lurking in our midst, and the solstice looming right around the corner, I must decide the pieces I am willing to sacrifice to end this war…
But I am running out of time.
If even the most powerful kings can become pawns, is anyone safe?
Breaking out of castle arrest and being found in my nightdress in the middle of the forest is a surefire way to gain the infamous ire of King Nikoli. Notably more so when there is substantial evidence to prove that the man who aided my jailbreak is one of the very same men who landed me there from the start.
Alaceandra is the name, being the only heir to Tikilium land is my game, but most people just tend to call me Lace. This morning, I reached the magickal age of majority at twenty-four, and my father is already set to ship me off to the prince of Helomasi. I have yet to even come into my powers, but patience has never been a virtue of King Nikoli. I always knew I would be a tool he used to gain more footing in Ptheryeth, but never did I guess that he would make his move so soon. As far as my father is concerned, I am simply the final piece that ensures his checkmate.
What he fails to realize? A king is nothing without his pawns and losing your most powerful piece too soon can lose you the game…
Vines and Daggers is Book 1 in the Powerful Pawns series by Rauri Rose. A reverse harem fantasy romance.
I have been captured, separated from my men, but not destroyed.
A voice inside of me grows hungry for revenge as the days pass in this gilded prison, but whether I shall give in or not to its haunting melody remains unknown.
As these trials get more and more intense I cannot help but wonder two things.
How far will these kings go to keep me in check?
How far will I go to escape?
May the winds of Ptheryeth forever guide me…
