To win the heart of a prince, one warrior offers her beauty, another her soul. Must one die?
Moo Hring is the finest duelist in Vimaya—a warrior-poet with a tongue like a razor and a heart hidden behind a face the court mocks. She has spent her life in the shadows, nursing a secret love for Prince Preah Ponhea Chan, the only man who understands the power of a verse.
But the Prince’s eyes are for Sorya, a stunning recruit who lacks the words to match his passion. Moo Hring makes a devastating pact: she will ghostwrite Sorya’s declarations of love, pouring her own soul into the words that will win the Prince for another woman.
As the Ayutthayan army closes in, the delicate dance of the court is shattered by the brutal rhythm of swords. Forced onto the frontlines, Moo Hring must navigate shifting loyalties and deadly swamps. Every letter she writes is a stay of execution for her heart, but as the war demands a final sacrifice, the truth can no longer be hidden in ink.
A stand-alone novella in the universe of Myths, Mischief & Mayhem.
"Readers who enjoy historical fiction and tragic romance in the classic literary style will adore this, as I have. Very highly recommended."
