Throne of Lies
(Amethysta Trilogy #1)
by Sara Secora
Genre: YA Fantasy
Release Date: August 2016
As a seventeen-year-old ruler chafing under the obligations of her bloodline, Princess Amethysta Serelle finds the royal life anything but enchanting.
Betrothed to a nefarious highborn, Amethysta's heart mourns her lost chance at love—that is, until she becomes mesmerized by someone other than her suitor, and her heart begins to beat anew.
Desperate to keep her daughter on the path toward duty and the throne, the queen keeps a deadly secret. But as Amethysta balances the burden of expectations and freedom, the glowing, blue truth will not stay hidden for much longer.
Desire and duty battle on, further complicated by strange occurrences happening to Amethysta’s body. She struggles for control as her once unquestioned reality is obliterated.
Will she discover the truth, in her heart and hands, before it’s too late?
EXCERPT
My mind swam with
negativity and fear; feelings I’d grown familiar with. They were almost
comforting, like old friends that I could rely on always to be there. Sullen, I
pushed away from the window, crossing my bedchamber to a wall-shelf brimming
with a collection of my favorite books. I ran my hand lightly over the bindings
one by one, enjoying the feeling of the leather on my fingertips.
My hand stopped on Far
from, Never There, a tale of grand adventure and love—two things I knew I
would never experience in my lifetime. I traced the author’s engraved name,
fingertips following the letters that spelled out “Elliott Rosen.” Feeling
pensive, I flipped through the time-stained parchment, stopping on a random
page. My finger hovering over the first line, I read aloud to my empty chamber:
“His lips were intoxicating, his tongue my curse, and as I laid my head down to
rest, my final thought was a prayer that I might never find myself sober
again.” Snapping the book closed, I hugged it tightly to my chest, wishing for
a day when I might experience that kind of love.
I already knew the truth, however—love was not in my
future. It just wasn’t something royalty had the luxury of searching for. I
served as a glorified pawn imprisoned in a royal game of chess, and my marriage
would serve as a power play to secure the throne.
