Learn moreSeduction and stealth are Belinda Primrose's skills—weapons befitting the queen's bastard daughter, a pawn of espionage conceived by Lorraine, ruler of Aulun, and her lover and spymaster, Belinda's father. Now an accomplished assassin, Belinda uncovers the true game her father never intended her to play. For Belinda has found her witchpower, a legacy born from something not of this earth. In a treacherous world where religion and rebellion rule, Lorraine is now in a position to sweep over the countries of Echon and to back her chosen successor to the throne: Belinda.
But Belinda is no longer anyone's pawn. Lured by the sensual dark magic of Dmitri, envoy to a neighboring throne, yet still drawn to the witchlord embrace of her former lover, Javier, Belinda knows that she has entered a realm where power and control go to those who can master and manipulate their fiercest desires. For the witchpower depends on the skill its wielder holds.
C. E. Murphy is the author of more than twenty books, including the Walker Papers series and the Negotiator trilogy. Born and raised in Alaska, she has since moved to her ancestral homeland of Ireland. She lives there with her husband, a chef, and three very spoiled pets.
Beverley A. Crick is a New York-based actress and accomplished voice-over artist. Her credits include film, television, commercials, radio, corporate narrations, looping, theater, comedy, and hosting. She breathes life into her characters and is a versatile chameleon, as comfortable weaving nurturing children's tales as she is narrating technical/academic material or biographies, infusing Regency romances with stylized intrigue or imbuing erotic fantasy with intimate sensuality. Her humor, dedication to research, and sensibility to nuance collectively inform all her narrations.
