The Hunstman's Heart

Princess Snow and Prince Henri couldn't be any more different.

Their kingdoms have been at enmity for a thousand years.

But when a new dark queen rises, they have little choice but to join forces.

If they don't, not only will their kingdoms fall…but the entire western realm.

Princess Snow has been sheltered since she was born, hidden away in a secret garden at her terrified father's behest. But when her father dies, and her older brother grants her the freedom of which she's always dreamed, she feels as though the world is finally hers. He even introduces her to his new wife who has already gained the reputation of being the most beautiful woman in all of Tumen.

Just as it seems Snow's life is about to begin, however, her new sister reveals a heart full of jealousy and fear. Barely escaping the castle with her life, Snow stumbles upon a group of kind-hearted men who have spent years helping Destinians escape the clutches of her kinsman…and the aggravatingly handsome prince who claims to have come at her brother's behest to find her. 

Crown Prince Henri Fortier of Destin had no intentions of making his way into the heart of his enemy's lands. But when the newly crowned king of Tumen sends word, begging for help to find his missing little sister, Henri goes in hopes of making peace with the new king. What he finds, however, is that nothing is as he expected.

The princess is indeed alive, but she won't remain so if the king's new wife has her way.  And with powers like those Henri has only seen once–in the person of his mother–he knows he must intervene, not only for the princess's sake, but for his own kingdom. Intervening would be much easier, however, if the princess didn't resent him so much. Which makes it all the more confusing, when he finds himself drawn to her…and wonders whether she's secretly curious about him, too.

None of that will matter, however, if the evil queen has her way. Her dark tendrils, they realize, reach far beyond the boundaries of their own kingdoms. If these two unlikely allies can't stop her, a shadow of misery and oppression will overtake everyone they love.
