Book
Description by Author:
A plague. A prophecy. A centuries-long curse.
All her life, Princess Adalina heard tales of
the legendary, immortal warriors known as the Nihryst. Cursed and bound to a
deck of tarot cards by her ancestors, the Nihryst were stranded on a remote
island nearly a century and a half earlier.
Her brother, Prince Shane, is destined to
rule the kingdom of Detmarya. Though preparing for this role has encompassed
his entire life, control of the kingdom may come sooner than expected due to
their father’s sporadic behavior.
Discovering the king's plan to set a war in
motion with a mass assassination, Ada unwittingly joins a crew of pirates in
search of the only beings powerful enough to stop him: the Nihryst. Meanwhile,
Shane and a group of underground rebels make a haunting discovery of a plague
infecting the streets of Detmarya.
With a looming deadline to save multiple
kingdoms and thousands of innocent lives, both royal siblings join quests
worthy of Ada’s beloved fairy tales.
