Fantasy. Fiction. Romance. Historical Fiction. HTML:The Dark Glass series continues as a woman chooses her destiny from a magic mirrorâ??from the New York Timesâ??bestselling author of A Choice of Crowns.

Kara, as a ward with no parentage and no future, has been raised knowing nothing outside her lady's chambers. Until Royce Capello, a visiting nobleman, is struck by her ice-pale looks, and demands her as payment for the land her adopted family needs.

With barely time to protest, Kara is sold and packed off for a life as a concubineâ??until a raiding party descends on Royce's company and she's kidnapped for the second time in as many days.

Whatever happens, Kara will be alone in the world, inexperienced and fearing even the vast unfamiliar sky. But one raider gives her a choiceâ??and a magic mirror appears to show her where each path will lead . . .

She can leave with her protector, Raven, and journey with his performing troupe, competing for his mercurial affections; flee the raiders' settlement, and return to Royce's manor, chattel among devious nobility; or she can stay in the settlement, bound to firm, silent Caine, who is as gentle as he is staid and inscrutable.

Her fates twist and turn to affect far more than she could have guessed, tangling the bitter with the sweetâ??and Kara must choose which consequences she can live with . . .
