The Silence of Deceit - Paperback

by Jillian Eagan (Author)

The nation of Seity.

When Eldon Durane executes a noble family and extinguishes all magic, he unleashes a war that spans generations.

Two decades later, Lady Rosalie Yorke and her best friend, Silence, are uprooted from their comfortable life to escape the spreading war. Sheltered and fragile, Rosalie is both terrified of-and intrigued by-the outside world. Her fears of Seity's dangers are soon realized when she is kidnapped by a ruthless group of raiders.

Crowe, the notorious pirate captain of the Deceit, wants nothing to do with Seity's political turmoil, preferring life on the high seas. In an attempt to exact revenge on the raiders who tried to get him killed, Crowe unwittingly rescues Rosalie. Hoping to change his luck, he decides to extort Rosalie's father for a ransom.

Rosalie refuses to be anyone's pawn, and Crowe has no patience for nobility. As the two bicker and dodge danger, Seity's long-buried secrets begin to emerge from the shadows. Together, Rosalie and Crowe must set aside their differences to stop Eldon's deadly plan.

Should they fail, everything Rosalie loves may be lost for good.
