A Court This Cruel & Lovely (Kingdom of Lies #1)
ByPublisher Description
For years, when I fell asleep, I dreamed of a man with blazing green eyes and a cruel smile.
The day I meet him, the ruthless mercenary leaves me for dead.
Just hours after humans are born, the gods take what little power we have. In return, they protect our borders from the vicious, merciless fae.
The humans who manage to keep their power are known as the corrupt.
And they are burned.
When my forbidden power is discovered, I’m forced to flee my tiny village and the life I adore.
To survive, I make a desperate bargain with the mercenary who abandoned me at my weakest.
Our deal is simple: I’ll help him and his mysterious friends sneak into the city. And he’ll help me learn to wield the strange, dark power I’ve always kept hidden. The power that may just be the key to my survival.
But the ruthless mercenary is hiding secrets of his own. Secrets that threaten the safety of everyone I love. Secrets that could tear this kingdom—and perhaps even this world—apart.
Please note: A Court This Cruel and Lovely is an NA/adult romantasy book with steam. While this series is slow burn, the chili pepper rating will increase for each book.

“Ahhhh!!! I love love LOVED Priscas growth in this book!! Did I cry? Yes.. did I laugh? Yes
I was curious about a few ways book 1 would end and BAM even bigger than I thought!! So happy this is a completed series because it is AMAZING! Can’t wait to continue the journey and Prisca to be an even bigger BA FMC 🎉🎉”
“i think this is my first 5 star book this year?!!! i've read a lot of TRASH. this book was so refreshing - IN MY OPINION it was written well and a bit different than other romantasy books. overall it's definitely "typical" or whatever. but aslo i feel like there was new story lines and not copy and paste. i loved the prisoners aspect, the dumb courtly drama, the different relationships she grew to have, the different plots between her little town, to traveling, to the castle. honestly just a good book”
