Desert of Death
She became a walking plague to save her people.
Now she'll wed a foreign prince to secure her throne.
Even if her heart belongs to another . . .
Layla may be the most powerful woman in Egypt, but she has never been in control of her own life. Her father granted her both a throne and a monotheistic religion that could cost her everything to uphold. Her sister was stolen by the fae. And the only man she's ever wanted loved her twin first. And that was before she agreed to become an avatar to an ancient evil to spare her homeland.
As the captain of the guard, Karim swore an oath to protect the Pharaoh of Egypt. But that task has never been more difficult than it is now as unrest spreads like a disease among the people. But worse is the strange ailment plaguing Layla that she refuses to speak of.
Layla is determined to bear all things, including the Kiss of Death within her, for her people. But one thing she will not do is surrender her throne to her brother. She will do whatever it takes, including raiding her ancestor's tomb and betrothing herself to an enemy prince. But some things are inevitable, like the end of a dynasty and the downfall of an empire . . .
