Synopsis:
Jennifer Anne Davis’ best-selling True Reign series captivated readers
from the very first page. Now, get ready to become entangled in the follow-up
series, Reign of Secrets. In this new series, follow Allyssa, the daughter of
the beloved Emperor Darmik and Empress Rema— and find out what happens after
happily ever after.
Seventeen-year-old Allyssa appears to be the ideal princess of Emperion—she's
beautiful, elegant, and refined. She is the darling of the kingdom and, one day,
will be the most powerful ruler in the world. But for her, life at court is like
a suffocating cage. During the day, she manages to keep a smile on her face and
play the part of the perfect princess. But at night, she sneaks out of the
castle and roams the streets with a commoner who doesn't know her true identity.
She keeps tabs on the shady under dealings of the city and seeks out ways to
help her people firsthand.
When a royal messenger arrives half dead,
carrying news that an army from the northern front is amassing to destroy
Emperion, Allyssa is forced to entertain an alliance with a handsome prince from
a neighboring kingdom. She needs to marry him in order to secure his country's
help to fight their mutual enemy. Prince Odar turns out to be rather charming,
well spoken, and cultivated. In other words, he represents everything she
despises about court life. To make matters worse, the prince insists that
Jarvik— his nosy squire—watch Allyssa's every move, suffocating her even more.
Jarvik is infuriating, bossy, and constantly looks down upon her.
When
she sneaks out of the castle in disguise one evening, Allyssa comes face-to-face
with an assassin who isn't from this part of the world, an assassin who was sent
to murder the royal family. Stuck in an impossible bind, she allows Jarvik to
help her. Together, the unlikely pair confronts the man sent to kill her so she
can discover who's behind the lethal plot. Only, the more she learns, the more
she understands that the invading army and the assassin are connected to an
enemy she thought was long gone—an enemy with the power to destroy her family
and the people of Emperion. The cage she so longs to break free from might just
be the one thing she has to fight to keep intact. In order to save her kingdom,
she has to sacrifice her freedom, her heart, and maybe even her
life.
