The Ever Spirits

Alynah Commonborn no longer exists.

My overlord forged me into a pawn taught to fight, detect poisons, and disconnect my soul. Now, in a land where our spurious peace is at an end, I am a concocted lie - princess, decoy, murderess, spy - with only one truth left: greater loyalty to my family than my country. I play the overlord's heartless daughter to save their lives, but in so doing, I condemn my nation to an alliance that will destroy it.

Then a ruthless foe kidnaps me for his own agenda. I need to escape to stop the coming disaster, but every attempt fails, and the stakes keep rising. I'm falling in love with my silver-haired captor, making it harder to fight him. Too many die for my deception, making it harder to believe in. And the ever spirits in the spirit realm keep sending me back from the dead, meaning more than my family's lives hang in the balance, and not only my people's spirit will break if I fail.

But I am Alynah Commonborn - what's left of her - and I will not fail.
