In a society steeped in tradition, Princess Lia's life follows a preordained course. As First Daughter, she is expected to have the revered gift of sight―but she doesn't―and she knows her parents are perpetrating a sham when they arrange her marriage to secure an alliance with a neighboring kingdom―to a prince she has never met.
On the morning of her wedding, Lia flees to a distant village. She settles into a new life, hopeful when two mysterious and handsome strangers arrive―and unaware that one is the jilted prince and the other an assassin sent to kill her. Deception abounds, and Lia finds herself on the brink of unlocking perilous secrets―even as she finds herself falling in love.
The Kiss of Deception is the first book in Mary E. Pearson's Remnant Chronicles

Review

 The Kiss of Deception is about a girl who is determined to make her own Destiny. she's a pincess wed to a distant prince whom she doesn't know or want, so she runs. Both the prince and an assassin follow her on her journey to the unknown while she works to build a new life. I was drawn into the book almost immediately and love how that author wrote in three different points of view. One frustrating thing with this though was that it is hard to tell who the assassin is and who the prince is. The author does eventually answer the question, but only after she has made you fall in love with both of them. Beside this minor problem I found the book enjoyable and it kept me at the edge of my seat throughout the entire read. 

Next book in the series is The heart of Betrayal released July 7, 2015.
