I would like to say that this little gem was found due to my stellar sleuthing abilities, but I'll admit that I saw it on Anna's To Read update at Goodreads. I was intrigued by the series title, and then I went to the author's website to learn more. I've been searching for a good historical fantasy, that's sexy and romantic. I hope this one fits the bill!
So, without further adieu........
Kathryne Kennedy's historical fantasy romances have garnered awards and a growing readership. This exciting new series, set against the lavish backdrops of Georgian and Victorian England so beloved by romance readers, is deliciously dark and exciting.
Fighting for control of a kingdom that is split into seven domains, Elven warlords use their human slaves to breed an endless supply of soldiers for their armies. Dominic Raikes, the half-blood son of the Elven Lord himself is one such warrior. Betrothed to Lady Cassandra, who has been raised in a convent to keep her pure, he little suspects that she's been secretly trained as an assassin to murder his father…and him. Dominic and Cassandra soon discover that each one is not what they seem, but the price of trust may be their very lives, and the destruction of the magical realm each is desperately trying to save…
