<em>Tales of loathsome kings and prophesied saviors aren't so appealing when you are a royal bastard of prophecy…</em><br><br>Evonalé Yunan has never cared for tales of loathsome tyrants, seduced maids, and prophesied saviors. She herself is supposed to somehow free her grandmother's enslaved queendom. But she's merely a child, and her father is the powerful fire mage who subjugates the realm.<br><br>Evonalé has therefore fled home, her two half-siblings, and the father who really should've been her uncle. (If she could, she would flee her lethal and not quite insane faery godmother, too, but that's a side issue.)<br><br>Unfortunately, it's the middle of winter. Fortunately, following her mother's directions has put her in another king's hunting grounds. To Evonalé's bewilderment, that king picks her up and gives her a place in his palace. The prince seeks her out to tease and befriend.<br><br>Then one of Cook's daughters starts teaching her magic, and a scullery maid proves herself immune to poison.<br><br>Evonalé isn't the only one with secrets.<br>—<br>(A novel of 78,000 words.)<br><br>ALERT: Contains some mature themes and responsible use of alcohol. The narrator's family is sadistic. |
