About the Book

Title: Nothing As It Seems

Genre: Clean YA Medieval Romantasy (with no spice, no magic)

Back Cover Blurb: Nothing matters more to Halynn Forrest than uncovering the identity of the man who murdered her father. Her only clue is the mysterious poison he used, the same poison which killed the late king and queen. By sneaking into the Royal Records, her secretive mentor assures her, she’ll find the answers. The catch? She’ll have to defy the odds—both as a commoner and a woman—and become a Personal Knight to the arrogant blabbermouth, Prince Andrias, to do it. 

Prince Andrias Montcroix lives a lie. Publicly, he’s the confident and hot-tempered troublemaker who can’t stand his brother Castiander, despite being heir to Castiander’s throne. Privately, he’s a disaster, distrusting of almost everyone and desperately searching to discover who the assassin who killed their parents is—and to stop him before he succeeds in murdering his beloved brother, too. After another failed assassination attempt on Castiander’s life, Andrias is convinced his newest knight is conspiring with the assassin to get them both killed. 

When one of Andrias’s leads turns out to be a trap, Halynn takes charge. In the middle of navigating enemy territory with fake identities and forced to work together, the two find the other skilled in tearing down their protective walls, getting under their skins—and into each others’s hearts. But the closer they come to unraveling the assassin’s identity and his motives, one thing becomes increasingly clear: the search which brought them together may be the very thing which tears them apart.
