Comment croire en l’amour lorsque le destin a déjà tissé sa toile ?

Pour survivre, Romeria a toujours été prête à tout, jusqu’à devenir la voleuse la plus réputée de New York. Alors, lorsqu’on lui pose un ultimatum, elle n’a d’autre choix que d’accepter de dérober une pierre mystérieuse. Mais elle n’aurait jamais imaginé qu’en débutant cette mission elle serait propulsée dans un autre monde et réincarnée en la princesse destinée à épouser le futur roi Zander. Cet homme la déteste de tout son être, et à raison : dans cet univers, Romeria est accusée d’avoir tué les parents de Zander et mis son règne en péril, alors même qu’ils devaient se marier. Pourtant, quand ce dernier lui propose de l’aider à déjouer le complot qui se trame contre lui, Romeria saisit sa chance, même si cela signifie devoir prétendre qu’ils s’aiment passionnément. Un jeu dangereux pour la voleuse, qui ne doit pas baisser sa garde. Car que se passera-t-il si son cœur ne veut plus seulement battre pour survivre, mais pour aimer ?

Gifted thief Romeria has flourished from her days as a street kid pilfering wallets to survive. Now she thrives, stealing jewels from the rich under the involuntary employ of New York City’s most notorious crime boss. But when an enigmatic woman secures her services at swordpoint, Romeria is plunged into a startling realm of opposing thrones, warring elven, and elemental magic she cannot begin to fathom.

Her quest is straightforward: Steal a stone from Islor’s sacred garden without anyone discovering her true identity, which would earn her certain death. But the identity she has inexplicably assumed is that of the captured Ybarisan princess—an enemy to Islor after she poisoned their beloved king and queen on the day she was to marry the prince.

Her betrothed, the newly crowned King Zander, detests her with every grain of his handsome being. Fortunately for Romeria, she is more valuable to him alive than dead. Zander gives her a choice: life in a cell, or an acquittal of all charges in exchange for her help in exposing the growing plot against him.

Romeria sees no other option and embraces the tricky role of smitten queen-to-be until she can escape, a ruse that brings her far closer to the king than she anticipated and threatens more than her safety. As she digs deeper into this sacred garden and the ancient feud between Ybaris and Islor, she discovers monstrous truths that could spell ruin for all.

She would know the world of vengeful gods and monsters, and the lengths one would go for love. And nothing would ever be the same for her again.
