Three Betrayals (Withered Crown Chronicles Book 1)

A princess who became prey, a lovechild who was never loved, a treacherous kingdom on the verge of collapse.

Idalia Averill never imagined her life could go from royalty to ruin so suddenly, just as her family never expected the Sudulay's betrayal. Now, desperately fleeing her homeland to avoid capture, Idalia's survival will depend on her ability to discern friend from foe - especially among those closest to her.

Rainer Gold has always been a nuisance in his father's eyes and inadequate in his own.

With the realm now divided and echoes of dissent spreading across the lands, King Siron devises a way to unite the kingdom.

Rainer sees the plan as a chance to secure the king's respect, but the outcome may leave him feeling even less than just an illegitimate child.

Now, forced to confront the cruel fate they've each been dealt. Idalia must fight to escape the traitors determined to erase her bloodline, while Rainer battles for the recognition he has always craved.
