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.

Wow this book did not hold back any punches with getting you in the gut and making you feel for the characters in the story. The descriptions of the places, the people, and the guessing game of who is who keeps you in suspense for a majority of the book. Then you get to the end and you get to go through some more major heartache with lia and then you get some joy and then thats it what what wait no i need more don;t leave me hanging. Oh book two where are you.
