The Blood Beneath (Romantic Fantasy)
Mila Hiland doesn’t remember her life before she was found abandoned in the streets of Greytower. Now a trusted member of the city’s notorious gang, the Rats, she relies on her rare magic—the ability to detect lies—to prove her usefulness and ensure she’s never cast aside again.
When she’s hired to free Vikandar Lestara, a blood-drinking Duskvorn held captive by the king, Mila’s memories are restored to reveal an unwanted truth: she’s the princess lost during the siege that destroyed the royal family. Determined to reject the throne and finish the job, Mila helps Vikandar escape.
As they flee into the Duskvorn’s underground kingdom, Mila realizes that her future’s been decided since the moment she was born, and is urged to step forward and be used as a puppet queen—at the cost of her freedom, her brother’s life, and the trust of the only man who’s ever seen her as more than what she can offer.
