I have seen this on many bloggers WOW's the last couple weeks and the moment I read the synopsis I was hooked and I knew I had to showcase it too. Royalty, dangerous love, murders, and secrets, this sounds absolutely amazing!
This is one that I want so bad, you're right, it does sound amazing! I hope both of us get a copy of it soon.
