Crown & Captive

By Kathleen Kitt

Perfect for readers of Powerless and House of Marionne, this sweet fantasy romance with a mystery follows a teen girl forced into servitude in an enemy kingdom.

Elysia of Miral never thought she'd set foot in Tannic. After a brutal rebellion that claimed the lives of both her father and Tannic's king, Elysia has become a living symbol of a fragile truce. But she knows the truth: She's been handed over as a veritable hostage, trapped in a court where everyone blames her for their king's death.

Forced into servitude, Elysia despises her role almost as much as the men who now surround her: Daxon, the brooding heir, determined to hate her; Pike, the flirtatious second-born, who pushes her buttons with reckless charm; and the two youngest brothers, Caden and Silas.

But soon loyalty and desire collide, and Elysia finds herself caught in a forbidden romance with the last person she ever expected to capture her heart. Will falling for the enemy prove to be a mistake that she pays for with her life?
