Ties of Dust (Tethered Hearts #8)
Deborah Grace White
Flora owes her role as a royal bodyguard to her ability to control Dust—the invisible magic created by movement. She doesn’t precisely pretend to be a man. She just doesn’t correct those who assume the Siqualian princess’s bodyguard must be a man…which is everyone. Including the delegation of the foreign prince to whom the princess is betrothed.
Prince Cassius’s sole purpose in seeking a marriage alliance is to bring strength to the region before outside forces succeed in splintering the peninsula further. When a misunderstanding magically tethers him to the princess’s scrawny bodyguard, he thinks his plan couldn’t go more wrong. Until the bodyguard reveals herself to be far from the teenage boy he’d assumed—it turns out his plan can go much more wrong.
Flora and Cassius find themselves in an uncomfortable bind—especially as their own hearts become as great a threat to the proposed marriage alliance as the outside forces determined to prevent it. When Cassius’s enemies emerge from the shadows, and their tether puts Flora in even greater danger than Cassius, both will have to decide what they’ll fight to protect…even if it means choosing between their hearts and their kingdoms.
Ties of Dust is book eight in Tethered Hearts, a multi-author series of no spice fantasy romances. Each standalone story features a magical bond that forces the couple to discover how much they’re willing to sacrifice for the sake of love.
Although it’s a fully standalone story, Ties of Dust also serves as a prequel to Deborah Grace White’s upcoming fantasy series Magic of Dust and Movement.
