Ties of Deception

An innocent goddess. A manipulative god. A deception that could destroy an empire.

Purity, a goddess of life, has only one purpose: to be happy. The happier she is, the more blessings those around her receive. So she spends her days in luxury receiving gifts and adoration.

And now she has even caught the eye of the empire's prince.

It seems the perfect existence until she meets a hated god of death in the palace. He seeks a goddess bride to take home with him to the Unseen Lands.

Purity can't stand the sight of him. And worse, he seems to be everywhere she goes. But slowly he unveils a different world that was surrounding her all along. One filled with deception and corruption. Purity can no longer turn a blind eye. Happiness is no longer enough.

When she falls into a vicious competition for the hand of the empire's prince, Purity is caught at a crossroads. Could it be that her role is not to marry the prince, but to destroy him and give her heart to death himself?

Ties of Deception is book three in Tethered Hearts, a multi-author series of no-spice fantasy romances. Each standalone story features a magical bond that forces the couple to discover how much they’re willing to sacrifice for the sake of love.
