A courtly contest with a political mission

In *Veiled Court*, a former assassin enters a deadly contest among Fey nobles under a false identity, with a sacred relic and the fate of the fallen monarchy tied to her mission. Syn Malleore’s search for a cure for her sister’s curse intersects with a struggle over who will claim the throne. When a warlord discovers her disguise, a feigned romance becomes part of the contest’s public politics—and another risk to her cover. Arthurian fantasy, court intrigue, lethal trials, and a sister’s peril shape this story of resistance to a possible return of royal rule.

Book overview

Join the Trials. Fake a Romance. Kill the King.


 

Ex-assassin Syn Malleore hates kings. The last one poisoned her sister, leaving her to slowly die of a curse. Now that the monarchy has fallen, Syn can finally leave London and return to the Fey realm to search for a magic cure.


 

But the Fey nobility are already plotting to restore the monarchy. In a hidden court, aristocrats fight to the death in brutal trials to claim the throne.


 

Syn won't let another tyrant rise. Disguised as a baroness, she infiltrates the trials as a spy. Her first goal: steal a sacred relic to save her sister. Her second: destroy the monarchy.
But the greatest danger is Rion du Lac, a lethally seductive warlord.

 

When he discovers she's an imposter, he forces her to pose as his lover to win the crowd's favor. If he exposes her secrets, she'll burn for treason. And if she fails, a new tyrant will rise.
