by Jane Fletcher (Author)
High level politics in the Kavillian empire is a dirty, dangerous game--a game Cassie knows well. As a member of an ambitious imperial family, she has been tutored from birth to play a leading role in the contest for power. Yet even she is caught out when a murderer raises the stakes.
Meanwhile her lover, Arian, has problems of her own. Life in the upper strata of Kavillian society is so very different from the honor-based culture of her homeland. She despises the unending, ruthless cycle of intrigue, blackmail, and deception that Cassie views as normal--regrettable sometimes, but more often a source of entertainment. Nor can she accept Cassie's willingness to sacrifice everything and everyone to advance her family's position.
Arian's determination to stay true to her own moral code will be put to the test if she is to save their relationship, and Cassie's life.
