The Firetongue Heir

by Elyse Thomson

Overview

Love leads to ruin

As a noblewoman of Lethe, Nadia's fate is set in stone—marriage, and a life of stultifying insignificance. Hungry for more, the talented mage schemes from the shadows, pulling the strings of a continent plagued by war. Nadia knows exactly what she must do... until she meets a charming, irritating rogue and the bane of her existence—Darius.

Prince Darius Firetongue is the least loved son of a cruel tyrant. His greatest joy? Nettling the sharp-tongued, quick-witted Nadia in an attempt to woo her away from a fiancé she clearly doesn't want. When his father decides to bring him to heel by threatening Nadia's life, he knows he must protect her.

Forced to flee with only each other to rely on, passions ignite. But as Nadia's dangerous ambitions are revealed, they'll have to decide—submit to family, or give in to a reckless, forbidden love and the promise of bloodshed to come.

A lush, romantic fantasy novella set in a world inspired by ancient history, The Firetongue Heir is the prequel novella to the Mages of Oblivion series.
