Crown of war and shadow / J.R. Ward.

Ward, J. R., 1969- (author.).

Summary:

"An outcast burdened with a curse. A mercenary out for himself. A kingdom that must be saved. In the deep, dark, dead of night, passions rise, and empires fall... The Fulcrum is failing, and demons are slipping into the mortal world. No one is safe. Especially not Sorrel. An orphan and an outcast within the walls of her small village because of her mystical abilities. She wants to survive...and find somewhere she can call her true home. But Fate has other plans. Sorrel has been chosen. Cursed. She must cross the Badlands to return the Queen's crown and convince the fearsome female to save their world from destruction. Well aware she's no brave hero, Sorrel makes a dangerous deal with Merc, a brooding, commanding mercenary known only by his unscrupulous profession. The deal? A night in his bed that she will never forget, in exchange for her safe passage. But Merc has secrets of his own, and even though desire runs hot between them, adventure, danger, and betrayal lurk around every corner. Crown of War and Shadow is the first book in the Kingdoms of the Compass series"-- Provided by publisher.
