    About this ebook

    A Palace Intrigue Romantasy

     

    A prisoner in the emperor's palace, Isadora Fyne is forced to choose her own path. Protection or destruction? Light magic or dark? A powerful witch, she is weakened by her uncertainty. In caring for the pregnant empress, she practices protection, but the call to darkness is all around her. 

     

    Lucan Hern has traveled from Tryfyn to the Columbyanan Palace to claim the prize he was promised long ago. The Star of Bacwyr. When he sees the stone sparkling on Isadora's finger, he pursues her. His plan is simple. He will seduce Isadora, she will give him the Star, and his quest will be complete. 

     

    Isadora lost a husband, a deep love, to the Fyne Curse, and she has no desire to love again. Lucan is a persistent suitor, but she is able to resist his charms. Until the emperor orders her to spy on their guest. Until the emperor asks Isadora to take on the job of palace assassin…

    Linda Winstead Jones

    The first clue Linda had that she might like to write for a living came when she took a community education class in creative writing at the local high school. Taking classes was her hobby at the time, and creative writing came between yoga and French, or maybe between cake decorating and Chinese cooking. It was her first experience of meeting and working with other writers. She had always loved to read, and soon found that she loved writing. For years writing was just a hobby, one she sometimes attacked with a vengeance and then set aside for months at a time. When the time came to give completing a book a serious try, she was ready. Guardian Angel, a Western historical romance, was written at her kitchen table. Not long after she mailed it to a publisher, she discovered the local RWA chapter, Heart of Dixie, and joined. She knew right away that these were her people, and she hasn't wandered far since. Apparently unable to say no, she has served as conference chairman, president, luncheon chairman, and vice president. Easily bored, she soon deviated from historical romance into time travel, fairy-tale romance, and romantic suspense. When she's not writing, Linda can be found at hockey games (where she's a season ticket holder for the local team), a meeting of writers (a necessity and a joy that she will never give up), or doing the family thing with an ever-growing and wonderful family.
