Nyx: Secrets — K.S. Thomas

Caged. Traded. Hunted. Claimed. And still, she burns. In a land of people blessed by the gods, the king expects an offering from everyone. When the value of a gift expires, so does the gifted. And Princess Cerridwyn has but one idle gift. Her beauty. Raised by the most ruthless king under the Seven Stars, she's been prey to a monster whose hunger is never satisfied, caged in a castle she fears she'll never escape. But Cerridwyn has a secret. She's not the king's daughter. She's the child of his greatest enemy, kept hidden in plain sight. Now a lady's maid will plot her escape. One guard will stand by her. And rebels will claim her as their own. However, the lie keeping her safe was one of many within the castle. The king has his own secrets. Dark plans to conquer more than just a gifted people, he's after the Gods. And he's destroyed all who have faced and defied him. All but one. An idle-gifted princess. A goddess-blessed blaze.
