The Kiss of Deception
(2014)(The first book in the Remnant Chronicles series)
A novel by Mary E Pearson
'Adeeply satisfying, intricately plotted fantasywhere 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
