A Sabre in the Hemlock

With enemies closing in and magic slipping from her control, warrior princess Celeste draws closer to unraveling a prophecy that could cost her the man she loves-as well as her soul. In the wake of the carnoraxis attack on Ivystone Citadel, Princess Celeste Westergaard‘s battle for her future has only just begun. Trapped under the king‘s watchful eye and hiding the magic awakening within her, Celeste must play the role expected of her, all the while uncovering secrets buried throughout Terre Ferique. As the royal court embarks on a tour to solidify bastard heir Dante‘s claim to legitimacy, whispers of war and treachery follow their every step. The Shadow Tsar‘s reach is growing, and the prophecy that fuels his reign foretells the rise of a power that will bring his downfall-one tied to the blood of the fae. From glittering courts to bloodstained battlefields, Celeste must walk a knife‘s edge between duty and desire, deception and truth. Because if the tsar discovers who she really is, he won‘t just come for her magic, he‘ll come for her soul. A Sabre in the Hemlock is the thrilling sequel to the multi-award winning A Dagger in the Ivy, weaving romance, danger, and dark intrigue into an unforgettable tale of power and sacrifice.
