'A deeply satisfying, intricately plotted fantasy where no one - no one - is quite what they seem' Robin LaFevers, New York Times-bestselling author of Grave Mercy
The first book in the New York Times bestselling Remnant Chronicles.
The Kingdom of Morrighan is steeped in tradition and the stories of a bygone world, but some traditions Lia can't abide. Like having to marry someone she's never met to secure a political alliance.
Fed up and ready for a new life, Lia escapes to a distant village on the morning of her wedding. She settles in among the common folk, intrigued when two mysterious and handsome strangers arrive - and unaware that one is the jilted prince and the other an assassin sent to kill her. Deceptions swirl and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous secrets - secrets that may unravel her world - even as she feels herself falling in love.
'This is the kind of story I love - a heart-pounding tale of magic and murder, betrayal and romance set in a richly imagined fantasy landscape' Cindy Williams Chima, New York Times bestselling author of the Seven Realms
'The Kiss of Deception has it all - beautiful writing, heart-pounding suspense, a fiery princess, and an epic romance that'll make you swoon. This is definitely one of my favourite reads of the year!' Alyson Noël, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Immortals

I Read #thekissofdeception By #maryepearson Which Is The First Book In #theremnantchronicles With My Lovely Friend @bookswithclaire_ 💜It’s Been Such A Long Time Since We’ve Done A Buddy Read Together & Was Definitely Overdue! 😍
This Book Follows Princess Lia Whose Life Has Already Been Planned For Her. As The First Daughter Of Her Royal Line She Is Expected To Have The Revered Gift Of Sight But Alas She Does Not. In Light Of This Her Parents Have Arranged A Marriage To Secure An Alliance With A Neighbouring Kingdom However She Hasn’t Even Met This Prince. So On The Morning Of The Arranged Marriage Lia Takes Back Control Of Her Destiny And Flees Before The Wedding To A Distant Village. She Has Just Begun Relaxing When Two Male Strangers Arrive In The Village And Unknown To Her One Is The Prince She Was Arranged To Marry, The Other An Assassin Sent To Kill Her!!! 😱
I Feel Like The Premise Of The Book Is Absolutely Amazing And On Paper The Exact Things I Love In Fantasy. Unfortunately I Felt That This Book Did Not Entirely Execute This For Me. Firstly I Felt That This Was Too Long In Length For A Pace That Was Really Slow. It Is Over 500 Pages In Length I Felt Only Half Of The Book Really Moved The Plot & Character Development While The Other Felt Almost Stagnant. Which I Felt Was Such A Shame As The Half That Was Engaging Was So Good. I Do Feel That This First Book Was Setting Up For The Rest Of The Chronicles So I Do Feel Like I Will Carry On! 😢
