Description
Lykalis has a new obsession: a bewitching man carrying secrets stained in blood. But is he worth less than the safety of her kingdom? Or is he worth more than she could ever imagine? ***** The King and Queen have been murdered and eighteen-year-old Heiress Lykalis Vasoraki is to take her Aunt's title and be crowned in the palace of Kolteo, where people with the wings of crows and ravens dwell. Before her coronation ceremony can ensue, she pursues the killer and finds herself on a grueling path to the Kingdom of Sidiem, a territory of wolves and foxes. There, she bears witness to a brutal death, and a Royal investigation transpires. She teams up with the Heir of Sidiem and finds a list of evidence that consequently leads them to a jewelry company, one which hides something terribly sinister. An alluring man with mismatched eyes catches Lykalis's attention and she finds herself entwined with the fate of a broken man who knows more about killing then he does about living. ***** Excerpt: "Don't lie to me."

"Your spirit glowed like the only light across a sea of barren land- you. . .you're spirit was the only one that felt like. . ." ***** [ word count: 160,000~170,000 ] [ Book 1 of the Crown of Dahlia Trilogy ]
