She became a walking plague to save her people.

Now she'll wed a foreign prince to secure her throne.

Even if her heart belongs to another...

 

Layla may be the most powerful woman in Egypt, but she has never been in control of her own life. Her father granted her both a throne and a monotheistic religion that could cost her everything to uphold. Her sister was stolen by the fae. And the only man she's ever wanted loved her twin first. And that was before she agreed to become an avatar to an ancient evil to spare her homeland.

As the captain of the guard, Karim swore an oath to protect the Pharaoh of Egypt. But that task has never been more difficult than it is now as unrest spreads like a disease among the people. But worse is the strange ailment plaguing Layla that she refuses to speak of.

Layla is determined to bear all things, including the Kiss of Death within her, for her people. But one thing she will not do is surrender her throne to her brother. She will do whatever it takes, including raiding her ancestor's tomb and betrothing himself to an enemy prince.

But some things are inevitable, like the end of a dynasty and the downfall of an empire...

 She's more than just a scullery maid.
He's nothing but a steward.
Surely not enough to distract an ascending queen.

Zahra always knew what her destiny was, and even without the gift of sight, she knows the path she must tread to achieve it. What she didn't anticipate, though, was just how deeply she would feel the sacrifices she must make.

After all, a human sacrifice must be made if she is to take vengeance upon the current King of the Duat and ascend to the throne. And if that sacrifice is a trusting mortal maid named Salma, so be it.

And Zahra will do what needs to be done. Carefully, though, to avoid the ever-watchful eye of the young steward who has foolishly become enamored of her and thinks he sees something that is not there; that is lost forever. And Zahra would know, because sometimes, she can see as she used to. But only when the blood of another is on her tongue . . .

He wasn’t meant to be the groom.

She doesn’t want a husband.

A marriage alliance forged on a lie.

As the second son, Sef knows his place in the world is in his brother’s shadow, and his destiny is a betrothal to a woman marked for Death. Everything changes in a moment, though, when his twin’s wedding becomes his.

Lady Akila finds only one thing more distasteful than allying herself to the Court of Dusk: closing her eyes to the fact that the Night Court is making bargains with the Underworld. If she has to take a bridegroom from a lesser court to secure her people’s safety, then so be it. At least she’ll be wedding the elder brother.

 

The fate of two courts depends on Sef’s ability to deceive without the capability to lie. His own future, though, depends on his ability to woo without the courage to love. Otherwise, he will always be destined to be the lesser ruler, bound to a tragic marriage.
