Court of Blades

They say hope is the last thing lost.

Charlotte Livingston might be a descendent of the last Prince of Wales, but she is every bit English born and raised. So when her father informs her that she is to go Dinefwr Castle and play the role of Welsh royalty, she thinks he has lost his mind. The castle has a reputation for consuming its English occupants, and wastelanders can smell deceit a mile away. Cross the border, win hearts, and stay alive. It is a good thing the obnoxious Commander Tatum is there to keep her safe. If only she could tolerate his company…

Brock Tatum has spent the past year training the newly formed Carmarthen Militia—and bracing for war. Tensions between Carmarthenshire and England are rising, and trade is under threat. Cue the Welsh princess, sent to bind kingdom and country. But not everyone is welcoming of the half-blood arrival. Now Tatum is charged with protecting the whole dysfunctional family, and Lady Charlotte's rebellious nature might make this his toughest assignment yet. He must keep her alive as she attempts to win over battered hearts across the kingdom… and guard his own heart in the process.

Court of Blades is book two in the medieval dystopian series Kingdom of Chains. If you love witty dialogue, a feisty heroine, and a cocky hero, then this high-emotion romance is for you.

Trigger warning: Death of a family member and graphic violence.
