Bring Me Their Hearts
Zera is a Heartless – the immortal, unageing
soldier of a witch. Bound to the witch Nightsinger ever since she saved her
from the bandits who murdered her family, Zera longs for freedom from the woods
they hide in. With her heart in a jar under Nightsinger’s control, she serves
the witch unquestioningly.
Until Nightsinger asks Zera for a Prince’s
heart in exchange for her own, with one addendum; if she’s discovered
infiltrating the court, Nightsinger will destroy her heart rather than see her
tortured by the witch-hating nobles.
Crown Prince Lucien d’Malvane hates the royal
court as much as it loves him – every tutor too afraid to correct him and every
girl jockeying for a place at his darkly handsome side. No one can challenge
him – until the arrival of Lady Zera. She’s inelegant, smart-mouthed, carefree,
and out for his blood. The Prince’s honor has him quickly aiming for her
throat.
So begins a game of cat and mouse between a
girl with nothing to lose and a boy who has it all.
Winner takes the loser’s heart.
Literally.
No one can save her.
In order to protect Prince Lucien d’Malvane’s heart, Zera had to betray him. Now, he hates the sight of her. Trapped in Cavanos as a prisoner of the king, she awaits the inevitable moment her witch severs their magical connection and finally ends her life.
But fate isn't ready to give her up just yet.
With freedom coming from the most unlikely of sources, Zera is given a second chance at life as a Heartless. But it comes with a terrible price. As the king mobilizes his army to march against the witches, Zera must tame an elusive and deadly valkerax trapped in the tunnels underneath the city if she wants to regain her humanity.
Winning over a bloodthirsty valkerax? Hard. Winning back her friends before war breaks out? A little harder.
But a Heartless winning back Prince Lucien’s heart?
The hardest thing she’s ever done.
