Radiance

Radiance by Grace Draven The Prince of no value Brishen
Khaskem prince of the Kai has lived content as the
nonessential spare heir to a throne secured many times
over. A trade and political alliance between the human
kingdom of Gaur and the Kai kingdom of Bast-Haradis
requires that he marry a Gauri woman to seal the treaty.
Always a dutiful son Brishen agrees to the marriage and
discovers his bride is as ugly as he expected and more
beautiful than he could have imagined. The noblewoman of
no importance Ildiko niece of the Gauri king has always
known her only worth to the royal family lay in a
strategic marriage. Resigned to her fate she is horrified
to learn that her intended groom isn’t just a foreign
aristocrat but the younger prince of a people neither
familiar nor human. Bound to her new husband Ildiko will
leave behind all she’s known to embrace a man shrouded in
darkness but with a soul forged by light. Two people
brought together by the trappings of duty and politics
will discover they are destined for each other even as the
powers of a hostile kingdom scheme to tear them apart.
