A Shade Of Blood:The Ceaseless

Evie, a wayward young woman is kidnapped to become the lamb in a Coronation ceremony. She is kept under the supervision of the distant Emil, slave to the prince, Evie is to be sacrificed for. When Evie hatches a plan to betray the prince and survive his coronation, Emil becomes an unwitting participant and the surprising object of her affection. She sets her plan into motion with neither having any idea as to what the consequences will mean both individually and together.

She stood in the storm, & when the wind did not blow her way she adjusted her sails. Elizabeth Edwards
