Synopsis

Decades ago, in the nation of Patria, an attack from an enemy state killed the King and Queen and sent the Queen Mother into a coma. Since that tragic day Patria has been governed by the ruthless Archibald Mercer. But when the Queen Mother awakes from her coma, she and Mercer begin a desperate scramble for power—and a princess will be their pawn. Joseph de Brull, heir of a once-powerful family now in ruins, has dedicated his life to winning a position on the ruling council. But his rising career is jeopardized when his sister Nicola is chosen to be bound to the young Princess Eloise in an ancient and erotic ritual, which would make them lifelong companions as well as lovers. Now, as Joseph faces a life-threatening choice between family and power, Nicola must face a life turned upside-down—and new mystical powers that could require the ultimate sacrifice... Set in a breathtaking world of intrigue and magic, The Golden Arrow is author Anna Redmond’s fantasy debut—a riveting tale that takes dead aim at the quest for absolute power. http://www.sfbc.com/the-golden-arrow....
