Book Description
Magic, Politics, and Fate
A hand that’s hard to beat in a game where love seldom wins.
Cavern Dancers… handsome, athletic, lithe, and powerful -- their name speaks of mystery and magic. Born to a life of politics and responsibility, Gilana knows she cannot afford to marry for love. Yet in her secret dreams she longs for one of the exotic divers she’s glimpsed from the safety of her carriage. Instead, fate hands her to rude, arrogant King Tabor. Still, she clings to her dreams.
Fate’s hand has been no less kind to Jehf. Half brother to the despised King Tabor, Jehf longs to escape to carefree life that was once his as a Cavern Dancer. But Jehf has family who will suffer if he does not do what the King cannot -- Jehf must get Tabor’s new Queen with child. Jehf would risk his life for his family, but he cannot afford to lose his heart to the beautiful queen…
By day, Gilana despises the man she has married. Yet every night he fulfills her deepest desires. Just when Gilana realizes she is dealing with two different men, Tabor orders Jehf’s execution. Only with the help of the mysterious soothsayer can the couple hope to survive the king’s evil plan.
