A Dance Of Lies by Brittney Arena [Paperback]

A Dance of Lies is a romantic fantasy centered on Vasalie Moran, a former court dancer who was falsely accused of murder and spent two brutal years imprisoned in the dungeons of King Illian.

Unexpectedly summoned by the king, Vasalie is offered a bargain: serve as his spy during a month-long royal gathering, and she will regain her freedom. As she carries out increasingly dangerous and morally troubling assignments, she realizes that the king she serves may be involved in a far greater and darker threat.

To survive, Vasalie forms an uneasy alliance with the King of the East, Illian's brother and rival. Caught between two powerful brothers, political intrigue, and the secrets of her own past, she must decide whom to trust and how much she is willing to sacrifice to protect herself and those she cares about.

The novel combines court intrigue, betrayal, and romance with a heroine forced to navigate impossible choices.
