In Truth and Ashes — Nicole Luiken

What she can't remember could ruin her life.

The Mirror Worlds are but dull reflections of the True World, where magic and technology blend together...

On the True World, Belinda Loring has known from childhood that she must Bond with the son of another noble First Family. Uniting the families ensures hers will hold onto its powerful position, and so she's always pushed down the tender feelings she has for her best friend -- gorgeous, steadfast Demian, who isn't noble.

But when the ceremonial magic goes disastrously wrong, Belinda becomes a national disgrace. Scorned as Broken, she turns to Demian for help getting revenge on the man who ruined her: the radical Malachi.

But the seeds of Malachi's murderous plans lie buried in Belinda's past, in the dark days of her kidnapping -- a period of which she has no memory. And Demian may hold the key to recovering all that she's lost -- and saving the worlds.
