A cursed nation. An unlikely heroine. Deadly stakes. This love could kill... A jaded fae princess and a few words whispered in the dark...that's all it took for the prosperous country of Leiria to fall under a curse. Disease, famine and calamity followed. Fifteen years later, Samiris is one of the Chosen, a group of young women brought to the palace to try and break the curse. But if they fail, one of them will die. Unlike the rest of the girls, who see living in the palace with the Crown Prince as an exciting privilege, Samiris is indifferent to the social whirl and offended by the sumptuous wealth present in the capital. She just wants to go home to take care of her sick father and younger sister. Can Samiris survive the social intrigue at court, deadly plots against the Chosen, a seemingly unloveable Crown Prince, and a stubborn adversary to break the curse? A Sharpened Axe is a stand-alone, young adult fairy tale retelling with intrigue and romance, for fans of K.M. Shea, Kate Stradling, and Rebecca Ross. If you like a strong female lead, fast paced action, and slow burn romance, then you'll love this exciting book! Buy A Sharpened Axe and be swept away to the magical land of Leiria today!

"A strong female lead. In a land cursed by a vengeful fairy, Samiris lives to care for her sick father and younger sister on their once rich estate. Instead of training to be a lady, she spends her days chopping fire wood to keep the cold away from her dad and coaxing vegetables from the barren land. Unable to inherit due to being born a girl, she’s resigned herself to a loveless marriage of duty to an easily guided local boy. It does not go that way. Great read!!#fantasy #mystery #comedy #strongwomenlead"
