'A deeply satisfying, intricately plotted fantasy where no one - no one - is quite what they seem' Robin LaFevers, New York Times-bestselling author of Grave Mercy

The first book in the New York Times bestselling Remnant Chronicles.

The Kingdom of Morrighan is steeped in tradition and the stories of a bygone world, but some traditions Lia can't abide. Like having to marry someone she's never met to secure a political alliance.

Fed up and ready for a new life, Lia escapes to a distant village on the morning of her wedding. She settles in among the common folk, intrigued when two mysterious and handsome strangers arrive - and unaware that one is the jilted prince and the other an assassin sent to kill her. Deceptions swirl and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous secrets - secrets that may unravel her world - even as she feels herself falling in love.

'This is the kind of story I love - a heart-pounding tale of magic and murder, betrayal and romance set in a richly imagined fantasy landscape' Cindy Williams Chima, New York Times bestselling author of the Seven Realms

'The Kiss of Deception has it all - beautiful writing, heart-pounding suspense, a fiery princess, and an epic romance that'll make you swoon. This is definitely one of my favourite reads of the year!' Alyson Noël, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Immortals

The third and final book in the New York Times-bestselling Remnant Chronicles.

Lia has survived Venda - but so has a great evil bent on the destruction of Morrighan. And only Lia can stop it.

With war on the horizon, Lia has no choice but to assume her role as First Daughter, as soldier - as leader. While she struggles to reach Morrighan and warn them, she finds herself at cross-purposes with Rafe and suspicious of Kaden, who has hunted her down.

In this heart-stopping conclusion to the Remnant Chronicles trilogy, traitors must be rooted out, sacrifices must be made, and impossible odds must be overcome as the future of every kingdom hangs in the balance.

Ancienne gamine des rues, Kazi de Brumevive est devenue une Rahtan, membre de la garde d'élite de la reine de Venda.


À la poursuite d'un criminel recherché par la couronne, elle se rend au Guet de Tor, à l'autre bout du royaume...


Mais les Ballenger, qui contrôlent cette région, ne voient pas d'un bon œil l'intrusion d'une Rahtan sur leurs terres, et la mission de Kazi s'annonce périlleuse.


D'autant plus qu'elle se retrouve bientôt prisonnière de trafiquants de main-d'œuvre avec leur chef, Jase Ballenger. Et que celui-ci ne la laisse pas indifférente...


Commence alors un jeu du chat et de la souris au cours duquel Kazi pourrait bien perdre son âme. Et sa vie...

The thrilling, New York Times bestselling sequel to The Kiss of Deception.

Held captive in the barbarian kingdom of Venda, Lia and Rafe have little chance of escape. Desperate to save her life, Lia's erstwhile assassin, Kaden, has told the Vendan Komizar that she has the gift, and the Komizar's interest in Lia is greater than anyone could have foreseen.

Meanwhile, nothing is straightforward: there's Rafe, who lied to Lia but has sacrificed his freedom to protect her; Kaden, who meant to assassinate her but has now saved her life; and the Vendans, whom Lia always believed to be barbarians.
Now that she lives among them, however, she realizes that may be far from the truth. Wrestling with her upbringing, her gift, and her sense of self, Lia must make powerful choices that will affect her country . . . and her own destiny.

The Heart of Betrayal drives up the stakes and the romance, and will leave readers desperate to read book three in the Remnant Chronicles, The Beauty of Darkness.

'It's rare that the second book in a series is as good - or perhaps better - than the first, but that's the case here' Booklist, starred review, for The Heart of Betrayal

'A heart-pounding sequel that fantasy fans will appreciate' School Library Journal

Pour échapper à un mariage arrangé qui l'aurait privée de sa liberté, Lia s'était enfuie le matin de ses noces. La voici rattrapée par son destin de princesse et incarcérée à Venda, territoire de redoutables barbares.

Loin de chez elle et sans aucun espoir de s'échapper, Lia ne sait à qui faire confiance. Rafe, le garçon qu'elle aime, lui a menti, mais il a aussi sacrifié sa liberté pour elle. Quant à Kaden, elle a découvert qu'il était en réalité un assassin envoyé pour la tuer. Il lui a pourtant sauvé la vie en faisant croire au Komizar, le tyran qui règne sur Venda, qu'elle avait le don de seconde vue. Et ce mensonge a pris une ampleur qui la dépasse complètement, car aux yeux du peuple de Venda, elle pourrait incarner la sauveuse d'une très ancienne légende...

Tiraillée entre deux hommes, contrainte de jouer la comédie, Lia devra faire des choix qui détermineront son avenir, mais aussi le destin de tout le continent.
