Ashlynn Hartt Reserved for the Wicked

Annotation

With each passing generation, lands are lost to time and despair. In the very heart of Bohemia lies a realm much like this, a place where the worst is always suspected. One of the many drifting about her lands is Kade, a young runaway determined to flee from his fate when he crosses paths with Lia, a maiden wandering aimlessly through the woods. The pair of mysterious strangers finds respite in each other for a time until Kade discovers Lia is no resident of the forsaken realm. Though this story is not merely Kades to tell, nor does it belong to Lia for that matter. Silent endeavors flourish beyond their sight as a stark cat lingers in the shadows: a servant fears what sleeps inside him. A father struggles to save his country, a merchant quenches his thirst for gold, and a tyrant king lusts for power and the warmth of his harem. Cast aside all expectations in this dramatic story of love, loss, turmoil, and adventure. Each one of them bears a past, but will any hold a future?
