Beginning:
Uncle William had returned over an hour ago, yet he hadn't summoned her.Friday 56:
"Does Uncle Raymond know of your suspicions?" Quinn asked.This week I am reading The Traitor's Kiss by Erin Beatty. I got this ARC from Macmillan in exchange for an honest review. Here is the description from Amazon:
His father shook his head. "Not yet. The winter was so bad I wasn't able to send sensitive dispatches across the mountains -- even the south pass at Jovan was blocked until last week. The king is almost completely unaware."
An obstinate girl who will not be married.
A soldier desperate to prove himself.
A kingdom on the brink of war.
With a sharp tongue and an unruly temper, Sage Fowler is not what they’d call a proper lady―which is perfectly fine with her. Deemed unfit for a suitable marriage, Sage is apprenticed to a matchmaker and tasked with wrangling other young ladies to be married off for political alliances. She spies on the girls―and on the soldiers escorting them.
As the girls' military escort senses a political uprising, Sage is recruited by a handsome soldier to infiltrate the enemy ranks. The more she discovers as a spy, the less certain she becomes about whom to trust―and Sage becomes caught in a dangerous balancing act that will determine the fate of her kingdom.
With secret identities and a tempestuous romance, The Traitor’s Kiss is full of intrigue, espionage, and lies.
Enjoy and have a great weekend.
