Kiva had never hated herself more than she did that night and she knew the feeling wasn't going to leave her anytime soon. Perhaps never.

And then she heard Jaren's voice. You're perfect, just as you are. She wasn't, though. She was so far from perfect, and one day soon, he would know. And he would hate her.

If Kiva had been asked to recall anything about their walk across to the western palace, she wouldn't have been able to answer. Not with Jaren's words repeating in her mind, like a feather stroking her skin. You're perfect, just as you are.

An unpleasant feeling hit Kiva's stomach. She tried to convince herself that it was from hunger, and not because of how thoroughly she planned to betray the Vallentis family. How thoroughly she planned to betray Jaren.

She had a role to play. She had a mission to fulfill.
And no matter what, she would not let her family down.

As long as Jaren ruled the kingdom, his people would be safe, no enemy force standing a chance at defeating him. And that presented a problem for Kiva. For her family. For the rebels.

He was unstoppable. No matter how his family attacked, he found a way to defend himself. He was magnificent. And he was terrifying.

Jaren Vallentis or Prince Deverick, as most of the world knew him. Her fellow escaped inmate, her traveling companion, her once-friend-and-once-potentially-more-than-that and her family's sworn enemy. Her sworn enemy.
