| Publisher Description: Web of Deceit weaves a story steeped in deception, murder, and betrayal and encompasses a cast of characters against the background of two empires on the verge of war. Fraught with tension, it captivates and entertains at every turn of the page. Had Jedith Pen Saer not been so trusting of Helda Penim, she would not have found herself betrayed, abducted, and denied the position of High Uden over an elite troop of royal guards. Awaking aboard a nefarious ship and suffering a severe blow to the head, Jedith's amnesia hinders her from remembering who she is, but when she kills a would-be rapist with her bare hands, she gets her first inkling of the warrior she truly is. Sold into slavery, Jedith is unwittingly caught up in the political ambitions of a warlord and his general and the domestic upheaval between a father and his daughter while bits and pieces of her memory reawaken her identity and plans for her escape take form.With Jedith out of the way, Helda's treachery has awarded her the coveted position of High Uden but not the trust of her queen. Fearing discovery, she kills her two accomplices, unaware the murderous act is witnessed by one soon to become her blackmailer. Tormented by this new threat, Helda schemes to kill again, but this time, the opportunity is beset with peril under the watchful eyes of a suspicious queen. Her attention divided between preparations for an invasion and her search for the truth behind Helda's involvement in Jedith's disappearance, the queen's faith in her son is sorely misplaced and could lead to her downfall. Sent on a mission to spy on the enemy, the prince has other intentions. Having no qualms in betraying his mother for the throne of his father, he has only to convince the enemy of his trustworthiness and that the strategic information of his mother's fortifications is forthright. |
