The Blood Beneath (Romantic Fantasy)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fifteen years ago, Mila Loland woke on the streets with no memory of who she was. Since then, she\u2019s used her power to read intentions to prove her worth to the Rats, Greytower\u2019s most notorious gang\u2014and the only family she\u2019s ever known. When she\u2019s offered the chance to secure her place among them by posing as the kingdom\u2019s long-lost princess to infiltrate the royal palace, she doesn\u2019t hesitate. But then Mila\u2019s forgotten memories return, revealing a truth not even she could see coming: she is the missing princess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her brother, the king, insists she stay in the palace where she belongs. But Mila isn\u2019t sure she belongs there\u2014nor is she sure she belongs with the Rats anymore, either. The only thing she\u2019s sure of is that the prisoner she\u2019s been sent to free\u2014Vikandar Lestara\u2014isn\u2019t the blood-drinking monster he\u2019s been made out to be. Though he was captured fifteen years prior for the murder of Mila\u2019s parents, she believes he\u2019s innocent and refuses to leave him imprisoned for a crime he didn\u2019t commit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mila helps Vikander escape, becoming a fugitive alongside him as they flee the palace together, and their reluctant alliance grows into something neither expected. To stop a plot that threatens both the human kingdom and the Duskvorn realm, Mila must confront the truth of who\u2019s been writing her story all along\u2014and decide whether belonging is worth remaining a weapon in someone else\u2019s hands. Otherwise, she\u2019ll lose the only person who has taught her she\u2019s worth more than what she can offer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
