The Kiss of Deception (The Remnant Chronicles #1)

The first book of the New York Times bestselling Remnant Chronicles.

“Fantastical.” —USA Today

She flees on her wedding day.

She steals ancient documents from the Chancellor’s
secret collection.

She is pursued by bounty hunters sent by her own
father.

She is Princess Lia, seventeen, First Daughter of
the House of Morrighan.

The Kingdom of Morrighan is steeped in tradition
and the stories of a bygone world, but some traditions Lia can’t abide. Like
having to marry someone she’s never met to secure a political alliance.

Fed up and ready for a new life, Lia escapes to a
distant village on the morning of her wedding. She settles in among the common
folk, intrigued when two mysterious and handsome strangers arrive—and unaware
that one is the jilted prince and the other an assassin sent to kill her.
Deceptions swirl and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous
secrets—secrets that may unravel her world—even as she feels herself falling in
love.

The Kiss of Deception is the first book in Mary E. Pearson's New York Times bestselling young adult fantasy series Remnant Chronicles.
The adventure continues in the New York Times bestseller, The Heart of Betrayal, and comes to an epic conclusion in The Beauty of Darkness.
