The Arrows of the Heart

A STRANGER'S FAITH
As the Twelve Kingdoms and their allies are drawn toward war, a princess cast aside must discover a purpose she never dreamed of…
Karyn af Hardie behaved like a proper Dasnarian wife. She acquiesced, she accepted, she submitted. Until her husband gave her a choice: their loveless, unconsummated royal marriage-or her freedom. Karyn chose freedom. But with nowhere to run except into the arms of Dasnaria's enemies, she wonders if she's made a mistake. She wants love, security, a family. She can't imagine finding any of it among the mercurial Tala.

Worst of all is Zyr. The uninhibited shapeshifter is everywhere she looks. He's magnetic, relentless, teasing and tempting as if she's free to take her pleasure where she wishes. As if there isn't a war rising before them, against a vile and demanding force far stronger than they. But with Karyn's loyalty far from certain, Zyr offers her only chance to aid the defense-a dangerous gambit to seek out a land not seen in centuries, using clues no one can decipher.
Together, they'll have every opportunity to fail-and one chance to steal something truly precious…

"I think where this author truly excels is in her ability to give us engaging, believable heroines that pull us into her worlds and with Karyn she is absolutely spot on. (…) There's genuine emotion in this harrowing and yet enchanting story that pits mortals against ancient Gods and its a series that I never want to end."

"This is a series that benefits from reading in order. Each book wraps up a romantic fantasy in its own charming ribbons, but also serves to advance the overall plot of the series. That being said, I think you could hop into THE ARROWS OF THE HEART without being lost, and enjoy it for its own yummy goodness before plowing gleefully into the rest of the series. "

"It was also a tale of empowerment, finding strength within yourself and being your own hero among so many other things."
