Mercy's Requiem - Paperback

Arden has a target. A target that has taken her three years to get close to. The Princess of Cyrene has a bounty on her head that would bankroll Arden's vigilante pack for life. Finally, Arden secures a job within the palace walls as a guard. In disguise, Arden befriends Teyla while the entire kingdom is trying to win the princess's hand. The king has decreed there will be a competition. And to the victor? His daughter.

Arden decides to participate-not for Teyla's hand in marriage but for the prize money. Though the cost may be too high when Arden discovers Princess Teyla harbors a secret-one Arden is all too familiar with. Magick. A "gift" so deadly anyone found to possess it is to be executed on sight. Suddenly, Teyla shifts from Arden's mark to someone just like her. Someone she is compelled to protect. Now, she is at odds with her pack-the only family she has had for years.

Teyla isn't waiting to be rescued. She enters the competition to win her freedom from marrying the victor. But the competition proves to be too much for the magickal pair.

Together, they plan an escape from Teyla's suitors and those who wish to kill the princess. Arden's pack isn't the only group with plans to kidnap Teyla, as a dangerous group of rebels draws closer to take the princess as their prize.
