Guess it's my turn. Be harsh, please. Rip me a new one.
[personalized agent greeting here]
In an attempt to avoid any more scandals in a politically unstable kingdom, the king secretly hires a courtesan to occupy his wild son. Prince Anton, known for his drinking and indiscriminate sex with courtiers, falls harder for Katya (who he believes is merely a servant girl) than anyone expected and takes his obsession to the point of defying his father and threatening to give up his privileged life to marry her. Katya, however, proves to be more than anyone expected when a feral assassin comes hunting her. With the help of one of the king’s advisors, she escapes the castle, but the assassin is determined to chase her down, and once he tells the king who she really is, has all the resources he needs to catch her.
THE COURTESAN’S BLADE is a 98,000 word fantasy, a blend of swords and sorcery with politics.
