The Princess of Blood and Time

Verinia Hellfryne has had to do many things to get her way. She’s scheming, manipulative and ruthless! But how could anyone suspect their benevolent First Princess, who has taken on the burden of a substitute queen and raised her three siblings since she was eight years old? It’s unfathomable! But then, when her father brings to the palace his illegitimate son and the son’s mother, she meets her match! How can she face a woman who is as scheming and vicious as she is? How can she prevent her father from giving the throne to his bastard son instead of the legitimate heir? Verinia knows that she must fight to get what she wants, but an unforeseen scheme from the wicked concubine brings a new variable to distort her problems! “You’re a wicked woman, Your Sovereign Highness. Fortunately, I don’t like to play clean.” All her life, Verinia has vowed not to be swayed by men, but this scoundrel is just too smooth! “I’m a married woman!” He smiled. “I’m the prince’s proxy in this wedding. Treat me as such until he returns!” Secrets and schemes, blood and power turn into one big blur to distract from a chilling evil that lurks under the surface. An evil that could destroy the world.

Fifth Month— Dava, Day 12

It was still early in the morning when Verinia was called into the throne room with Halen to preside over a matter of injustice. 

Usually, such things would not make their way into the Sovereign's presence at this time, but maybe because Verinia had cultivated the reputation of being kind and magnanimous, no one cared about inconveniencing her. 

Eva was a little vexed about this, because it meant that her meticulous preparation of Her First Highness had to be rushed. Still, she managed to pull the First Princess' hair into a noble style and adorned it with pearls the size of eyeballs. 

Exquisite pearls were pinned into the knot the upper part of her hair had been tied into. The lower part of her hair hung down beautifully, like a soft curtain of inky silk. With a few strands of her hair left loose around her face, the First Princess looked especially beautiful.
