Veiled Court: A Slow Burn Romantasy (Legacy of Avalon Book 1)

About this book

Syn Malleore is an ex-assassin with a singular mission: save her dying sister. After the monarchy that poisoned her sibling falls, Syn retreats to the treacherous Fey realm in search of a cure. However, she discovers that the Fey nobility are secretly organizing brutal, lethal trials to crown a new king. Determined to prevent another tyrant from seizing power, Syn infiltrates the court disguised as a baroness to spy on the competition and steal a sacred relic that could grant her sister’s salvation. The plan hits a dangerous snag when she crosses paths with Rion du Lac, a lethal and irresistibly seductive warlord. When Rion uncovers her true identity, he doesn’t turn her in; instead, he blackmails her into a high-stakes game of fake dating to manipulate public favor during the trials. Caught in a classic enemies-to-lovers dynamic, Syn must navigate the deadly political landscape while keeping her heart—and her secret—guarded. With her sister’s life hanging in the balance and a ruthless warlord watching her every move, Syn is forced to decide if she can destroy the monarchy without losing herself in the process.
