The Kiss of Deception by Mary E Pearson

The Kiss of Deception (Remnant Chronicles, #1)

by Mary E Pearson

In a society steeped in tradition, Princess Lia's life follows a preordained course. As First Daughter, she is expected to have the revered gift of sight - but she doesn't - and she knows her parents are perpetrating a sham when they arrange her marriage to secure an alliance with a neighbouring kingdom - to a prince she has never met. On the morning of her wedding, Lia flees to a distant village. She settles into a new life, intrigued when two mysterious and handsome strangers arrive - and unaware that one is the jilted prince and the other an assassin sent to kill her. Deception abounds, and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous secrets - even as she finds herself falling in love.

SO good! I didn't who was who or who to root for. Kept changing my mind and switching sides! Even when the reveal happened I still found myself not sure. Beautiful world, wonderful complex characters. Loved them all. I tore through this book and can't wait to read the next one.
