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 17

"Plenk!" A porcelain cup shattered on the ground, spilling the light red herbal brew that had been steaming inside of it. 

"Your Sovereign Highness…" Eva stepped forward and wiped her mistress's hands with a soft handkerchief. "Would you like to rest?"

"I'm fine." Verinia grabbed the handkerchief in her trembling hands and wiped her fingers herself. The tea had been scalding, but she was so frozen that she didn't feel it at all. 

She had been off all day. The suns had risen in the middle of a thunderstorm and the clouds were so thick that it looked like it was late evening instead of midday. 

Verinia had a debilitating weakness to storms, and she had not left her room in the entire day. Su'ni Anthipeia had sent some tonics for her to drink, but she had not taken them. 

The reason for this was quite simple, actually. She planned to sneak out of the palace later. In order to create a foolproof alibi, she needed to be very very sick.
