About this ebook

Life hasn't been easy for Aeley since she arrested her brother, and her role as a political leader leaves her feeling isolated and lonely. Days before her brother's trial, she meets Lira, a quiet and modest scribe who makes Aeley want more than just a professional relationship.

When she attends the trial and leaves with a marriage contract, Aeley doesn't know what to do. She must choose one of two brothers, marrying into a family she doesn't know. Then she discovers that Lira is part of the same family–a sister to Aeley's suitors and the family's disgrace. And not at all opposed to an intimate relationship.

Except random acts of violence against her people test Aeley's ability as a leader, and a web of lies and deceit threaten not only her chance at happiness, but her life...

Author

Archer Kay Leah

Archer Kay Leah is an LGTBQA+ romance author that you'll often find getting lost in strange, fantastical worlds with characters who can't help but find trouble and shake things up. Fantasy and sci-fi romances are Archer's specialty, especially when they're complex and emotionally charged. But at the heart of Archer's stories are friendship, family, and there's always a happy ending–it might just take a whole lot of complications to get there!When not reading and writing for work or play, Archer is a nerd of much geekery, loves music to depths that will never be contained, and is fascinated by behaviour, psychology, and ecology. Born and raised in Canada, Archer lives in London, Ontario with a non-binary partner who loves all things out there in the vast space of the universe.
