Blade of Two Faces - (Imperial Trials) by Blake Blessing (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Never send a man to do a woman's job. Mulan meets Gladiator in this explosive why-choose romantasy!

This beautiful trade paperback edition features a deluxe cover with silver foil on the front and a full-color interior illustration.

When I fled from the rotting kingdom of Mador, there was only one thought on my mind--survive.

For too long the king, my brother, has kept me underneath his iron rule, his abuse, and after years as his captive I've finally escaped... barely.

But the outside world may be no better...

The world's provinces are colliding in the Imperial Trials--offering men a chance to compete for their mate... and the crown.

If there's any hope for a new life, I'll have no choice but to hide right in the middle of it.

My greatest threats? Four ruthless heirs, each with a hidden agenda of their own. Not that it matters.

I'll enjoy being their ruin.

May the most cunning and ruthless candidate win--or die trying.

"A rich, immersive world -- I was hooked from the first page! Full of angst and trauma and delicious things that make you chilled to the bone - looking at you King Elliot! I adored Ellis, she is simply exquisite and the best kind of FMC; strong and badass yet also vulnerable and in need of cuddles (imo!). All in all a wonderful read and can't wait for the next book!" -Rosa Lee, bestselling author of the Highgate Preparatory Academy series

I can't wait to see where the rest of the story goes."-Lacey Lehotzky, International Bestselling Author of Eyes of Devious Burgundy
