About this series
I swear I'll be free… one day.
I once had dreams—until my country's spineless overlord leashed my freedom and forged me into a pawn taught to fight, detect poisons, and disconnect my soul.
Then he kicked me like a snarling cur into a charade I don't want to play, and to quash my rebelliousness, he dangles my family's life in the balance like meat on a hook for a rabid dog.
Now I'm deceiving the enemy: a far-too-handsome silver-haired assassin who attacked my entourage and took me captive, thinking I'm the princess.
In truth, I'm a decoy forced to perpetuate a sham that will doom both his country and mine.
But I just have to pretend.
Pretend to be the princess.
Lie to my captor.
Keep him from discovering the truth.
And not fall in love with the beautiful but ruthless man who locked his own unseen chains around my throat.
Content warning: The main character makes it through basically (physically) unscathed, but others around her are pretty messed up.

- The Splintered Princess: The Ever Spirits, #1
1
A magic dagger. A beautiful man. And me. We were a match made to be destroyed. The dagger lured me in with whispers: I was meant to be an empress, not a farm girl, simple, sequestered and common. Daring to dream of power and love, I picked the dagger up. And I reached for him. Avid and ardent, we were both vicious in strength and feral at heart. But he protected those he loved while I—heedless, rash, slapdash with my emotions—played carelessly with the lives and hearts around me. But others played better. My country's overlord kidnapped my family and forced me into a charade: be a decoy princess to protect his queen. My weapons trainer hid his true agenda as he taught me to fight with sword and dagger, to identify poisons, to ingest them, and to sever my soul. Even the spirit of the man I loved suppressed a secret savagery behind his charm. But his spirit, split from his body, was no equal for his physical form. Captured by the enemy and warped into an atrocity, his true self made our love a battlefield… strewn with a thousand downfalls… one for every time I defied him.
