Neighboring kingdoms divided by a tragic past. A pair of rulers driven by duty. Will true love save their realms, or plunge both into bloody chaos?
Princess Liana has given up on finding a way out of her arranged marriage. Her people are starving thanks to her useless father and selling her hand to the highest bidder is the only way to save them. On the eve of her engagement party, she allows herself one last night of freedom with her sisters. But when she discovers a portal to the lost fae kingdom, Liana dares to dream there might be another way to save her kingdom. Callum hopes his vision for the future will bury his haunted past. Despite centuries of animosity between fae and humans, he wants to help Liana save her kingdom, but the secrets he's keeping about what really happened before the fae kingdom vanished could cost her everything. Entangled in a passion beyond her wildest dreams, Liana is horrified when the fae ball ends in bloodshed and she barely escapes with her life. Something is wrong with the fae's magic. Callum doesn't remember her, or the kiss they shared, and the entire fae kingdom is stuck reliving the same night again and again. The only way for Liana to save herself from marriage and her people from ruin, is to save the fae first, but with every tick of the clock, animosities old and new spill over. Will Liana and Callum overcome the past and unite their kingdoms once more, or will true love plunge them into bloody chaos?
A Shimmer Between is the intoxicating first book in the Lost Kingdom fantasy romance series. For fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and From Blood and Ash, this tale of a stubborn princess and her haunted hero is a seductively romantic retelling of the Grimm brother's fairy tale, 12 Dancing Princesses.
