Such a Clever Deception (Stolen Tears Prequel)

Description

Only your allegiance matters.

Talon Haraway’s place as leader of the Arcaian army is secure. He’s settled into command, he trains the new recruits with confidence, and he has free reign of the Triad Palace, all while catching the eye of the pretty kitchen maid, Aria. Better still, the requirement of all soldiers—to steal magic from the emotionally deprived Itharians—is one that Talon has tactfully been able to avoid.

Until now.

When a new set of recruits arrives in Valadir, the last thing Talon expects is to have one of them redefine what he always thought he wanted. Now with pressure from his Arcaian general and surrogate father, Tyrus Blinnsdale, to steal magic, to truly prove he is one of them, Talon must decide who he wants to be and where his loyalty lies before it’s too late.

Brimming with conflict, romance, and intrigue, don’t miss this riveting prequel novella from USA Today bestselling author Cortney Pearson’s Stolen Tears Series.
