She steals ancient documents from the Chancellor's secret collection.
She is pursued by bounty hunters sent by her own father.

Deceptions swirl and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous secrets-secrets that may unravel her world-even as she feels herself falling in love.
My Rating; 5/5 STARS - ALL OF THE STARS
My Review: This was the greatest book ever. I loved everything about it, from the start to the finish. Of course there were some sad parts in this book that I did tear up about. It was part adventure, part action, part romance, and part mystery. The mystery aspect was so interesting because we know that one of the boys is an assassin and that one is the prince that Mia was supposed to marry but we don't know which boy is which and have to guess at it for most of the book. When we do finally find out who is who some real bad stuff starts to go down. Lia is totally a badass character though, and I love her so much. I'm so excited for the next book and to see what is possibly going to happen after the way this book ended.
Quote I highly enjoyed: "If you were so foolish as to lay one of your lecherous fingers on me I fear we'd both regret it. It would ruin the festivities for everyone here, because I'd slice away the nearest thing to me, no matter how small." I looked directly at his crotch, then turned the knife in my hands as if I was inspecting it. Page. 247
