Laura Carter

A princess dealing with the trauma of her past. An assassin who rules the Kingdom underworld. A disgraced woman, banished by her family. The grandson of a usurper. When an explosion kills all the royal families in the Kingdom of Novisia, four unlikely heirs are forced to take their parents' place. Naïve and inexperienced, the rulers must not only learn to lead their realms but grapple with their newly heightened powers. To uncover the mystery of their families' deaths, the four must come together to uncover the truth. But as secrets are revealed and a prophecy predicts one of them will destroy the Kingdom, no one can be trusted - not even the dead. Perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas, Carissa Broadbent and Jennifer L. Armentrout

Secrets of the Dead

The once beautifully carved, towering temple, a symbol of peace and synergy, was now nothing but a burning pile of stone.

All Nyzaia knew for certain was they dealt the cards of death, and she was their reaper.

Kazaar Elharar was a man who bowed to no one.

'Princess, you would be surprised at how easily I could make you obey me if I cared enough to try."

He could not risk his realm falling to civil war once again.

So, he broke his own heart, and hoped someone would pick up the pieces of hers.

"Do you not like this dress?" She mused, twirling for him.

"You just gave up your claim to Keres. You will never catch me dead in it," she said. The corners of his mouth rose.

"We must make you as enticing to the men of Keres as possible," Nyzaia said, beginning to pull countless gowns from her wardrobes.

"Something red," Elisara requested, a slight smile playing on her lips.

“You're wearing red," he whispered, sending shivers through her body.

You must watch him, Larelle. Watch for the dark one that will bring suffering to all: the rise of old power, the Kingdom will fall.
