Soul Mage (Huntress vs Huntsman: Soulmage Saga, Book 1)

A Villainous Priest-King and a Warrior-Maiden need each other’s help…
<p><strong>A stoic warrior-maiden and a villainous priest-king make the most unlikely alliance in the history of the five kingdoms.</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>When a rescue attempt to save a clutch of dragon eggs from the soul mages goes terribly wrong, Warrior-Priestess Verdria of High Rock finds herself on the wrong side of a portal, deep in enemy territory.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>She soon learns she’s in the heart of the soul mage’s empire and when Honryn, the future priest-king of the mages, takes a liking to Verdria and saves her life, she’s pretty sure she’s facing down a &lsquo;fate worse than death’ scenario.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just when she thinks things can’t get any worse, Priest-King Honryn introduces her to the Royal Court of the Soul Mages, the most morally corrupt and bloodthirsty court in existence.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Life is cheap.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Souls are currency.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And Verdria has caught the fancy of the young priest-king, and while he doesn’t want to steal her soul, he’s set on winning her heart.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And she’s equally set on having his heart, after she’s carved it out of his chest.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But when she discovers Honryn’s most monstrous secret, a secret he’s even hiding from his fellow soul mages, she’s moved to pity and offers to aid him.</p>
