Previously pulished (2015) Self-published. Life at court isn't full of peace or quiet for Royal Seer Kimess as she serves the Lazrel queen. With a royal engagement propping up the peace treaty, Kimess and Prince Nemal head to Bachal as guests of their king. The harsh culture isn't easy, but being up close with charming unicorn and fierce dragon shifters is a new experience. Kimess and Nemal hope to find some private time, but are surrounded by security droids plus their own entourage. The queen's directives are many: spy, make friends, don't trigger a war, and capture a traitor—dead or alive. Kimess and her friends are balancing their delicate mission fairly well until a couple of royal visitors arrive—revealing secrets that ignites chaos.
