For a life without the chains of slavery... Vashti was willing to live a lie. Give up her name and place her trust in the hands of a cruel king. Now she looks into the eyes of a good man. The first good man she had ever met and lied to him. Prince Sargon had no desire for a political marriage. He did not want some spoiled princess for a bride. Then he met Princess Lenah. Her warm amber brown eyes and dark sienna skin called to him. She was nothing like he expected, and within minutes she tugged on the strings of his heart.
