Intrigue abounds in this hotly anticipated sequel to The Kiss of Deception!
Held captive in the barbarian kingdom of Venda, Lia and Rafe have little chance of escape. Desperate to save her life, Lia's erstwhile assassin, Kaden, has told the Vendan Komizar that she has the gift, and the Komizar's interest in Lia is greater than anyone could have foreseen.
Meanwhile, nothing is straightforward: there's Rafe, who lied to Lia, but has sacrificed his freedom to protect her; Kaden, who meant to assassinate her but has now saved her life; and the Vendans, whom Lia always believed to be barbarians. Now that she lives amongst them, however, she realizes that may be far from the truth. Wrestling with her upbringing, her gift, and her sense of self, Lia must make powerful choices that will affect her country... and her own destiny.
Ok so the food in this book didn't sound too appetizing so I got to thinking of recipes that would make life easier in a dreary palace like Venda! These are all recipes from my food Pinterest board. Click on the pictures to add to your pinterest boards and to see the recipes!
An cold winter nights I love a good chicken soup and this would definitely be a comfort for someone trapped in an enemy palace.
Also I would definitely like some sweet stuff!

I love something filling and warm and and these two recipes definitely fit the bill!

| The Best Pot Roast Ever! |
Also I would definitely like some sweet stuff!

| Super Easy Peanut Butter Fudge |
And here's some warm drinks. They have a tea in Venda but from what I've heard it's disgusting so I would rather drink these!
 |
| Had to add Butterbeer since it's yummy! |
I hope you liked the recipes! Trust me that pot roast is amazing served with mashed potatoes and gravy!
