Back Cover Summary

Kieran is the banished prince, stripped of his lands by a foreign king and made an outcast among his own people. His family and friends are dead or imprisoned, and he roams the countryside, bitter, lying in wait. He has lost everything he held dear, and has now only one desire: to avenge his family and save his little sister Gwen.

Lisette is the foreign princess, shipped off to the countryside of a newly taken kingdom to avoid the riots and rebellions back home. She longs for adventure, longs for the freedom that she had never known. Sheltered and protected as she was, she wanted badly to make a difference in the world.

When Kieran is found on Lisette’s doorstep, bloody and bruised, half dead, Lisette decides to take him in, not knowing who he was. And when Kieran finds out the Lisette is the foreign king’s daughter, he thinks he found the way to make his enemy suffer for what he had done. Will Kieran succeed in his task and avenge his family? Or will his own heart get in the way? What of the mysterious silver key that hangs around Lisette’s neck? The raven that keeps tapping at her window? And did she really get sent to the countryside for her "safety", to avoid rebellions and riots, or was it for something else? When war brews once more, will Lisette and Kieran find a way to unite in spite of their differences and save the people they both love?

Make it happen...I'll read
How did Kiernan's family and friends perish...I don't think it would give anything away by stating it in the summary so we would know why he wants to avenge his family.
Interesting premise...write on!!

Thank you for that lovely review. Your comment made me think about Kieran's family, and thanks to you I've come up with a more believable plot!
