<p> <strong> Excerpt: </strong> </p> <p> "You look terrible," he blurted before he could think better of it. </p> <p> Nora scoffed, and sarcastically snapped, "Thanks, so do you." Of course, Kalin didn't look terrible. Even covered in sweat and blood, he looked devilishly attractive, the keyword being looked. Still, his rough personality had its uses. That rude remark of his shocked her enough to end the tears streaming from her eyes, so she took a handkerchief from her pocket and used it to dry her face before discarding it on the bottom of the wardrobe, refusing to shove the soiled fabric back into her pocket. </p> <p> The sarcastic outburst about his appearance was ignored. She was upset, and he understood. Her life was crumbling down before her, people she knew were turning on her, and her future was uncertain. Sympathetically, he offered her his injured palm, the one that bore the mark of their pact, to show her that there was one person she could trust completely, him. No matter how their relationship started, their fates were tangled in a different way now. </p> <p> Nora's hazel eyes landed on his angry red cut. She stared at it, then flipped her own palm to look at her twin mark. The message was clear. He would not betray her like others. Softly, she placed her marked hand into his. With his tightened grip on her hand came comfort, and she allowed him to wrap her in his arms to carry her back to bed. </p> <p> <strong> Synopsis: </strong> </p> <p> Everything Honora ever loved was taken... stolen in a night that echoed with screams. A coup ended her parents reign in Yorith, and Princess Honora barely managed to escape the horrifying chaos to the neighboring nation of Orym. </p> <p> She was just Nora now. Commoners, especially the unsavory kind like herself, didn't need last names. In her struggle to survive, she had become a rogue in Orym's most notorious thieves' guild, the Wraiths. It had been 7 years since her escape, but she was idling her days away as a thief. She was waiting for the right moment to take revenge when her life was turned upside down by a thieves' job gone wrong and a bounty placed for her capture. </p>
