Dances of Deception
Summary
An invincible empire threatens to invade Cathay, and only a dragon song can ensure peace. After vanquishing the last dragon with the power of her voice, all Kaiya wants is a quiet life of anonymity. Instead, the emperor sends her to negotiate peace with the aggressive Teleri Empire. The critical mission reunites her with her childhood friend, Tian, now an assassin-spy who loathes killing. He is no longer the adorable, gullible boy from her memories, any more than she is the adventurous, sweet girl from his. Instead of rekindling nostalgia for a youthful innocence they both yearn for, their reunion ignites a mutual hatred. When the Teleri Empire breaks off talks, Tian must help Kaiya escape. Orcs, ogres, and enemy soldiers stand between them and home, and their volatile relationship could get them captured...or killed.
