{"product_id":"the-royal-tryst","title":"The Royal Tryst","description":"In the majestic kingdom of Precovia, a crown is no protection against the stinging rot of betrayal.\n\nQueen Ana-Marie has spent five years living a polished lie. Once a woman of renowned beauty and intellectual prowess, she now finds herself trapped in a cold marital bed with King Sanulous II—a man whose public reputation for power is matched only by his private pettiness and unbridled lust. While the King’s erratic behavior and infidelity become the whispered gossip of the shanties below, Ana harbors a dangerous secret of her own: a private infatuation with the kingdom’s legendary First Knight, Sir Benson Strength. But as Ana seeks solace in forbidden literature and unrequited love, a far more sinister plot is unfolding within the castle’s gray stone corridors. The King and his conniving Second Knight, Morris Cashen, have grown tired of Ana’s presence and her inability to produce an heir, and they have devised a ruthless scheme to rid themselves of her forever—a plan that mirrors the mysterious \"madness\" that claimed Ana’s first husband years ago.\n\nWhen Sir Strength accidentally intercepts the treacherous plot, he is forced to move from the shadows into a desperate game of survival. In a land where a secret gift can mean a beheading and a whispered word can spark a mutiny, the Queen and her knight must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice for the truth—and for each other. With the King’s wedding to a new, younger bride looming and a bounty hunter on their trail, the echoes of the past collide with the fires of the present. In this world of steel and silk, the law of the land is absolute, but the laws of the heart may be the only thing capable of toppling a tyrant.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0GHWB3T72\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0GHWB3T72.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:VanArsdel, Ashley|Ferraro, Tony\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43336756330557,"sku":"BVV.B0GHWB3T72.VG","price":9.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/the-royal-tryst","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
