Have you ever wondered what it’s like to have a name powerful enough to make people want you dead? Well, welcome to Runes of Truth by G. Bailey, where our heroine, Evie, lives that reality every single day.
This dark and twisty fantasy romance is an adventure from page one, blending suspense, steamy connections, and a badass female lead whose past is as tattooed in secrets as it is in scars.
Evie is no stranger to survival on the streets, honing her skills as a thief and a runaway, but what she didn’t expect? A summons from the royal court, the one place she definitely doesn’t want to be.
Turns out, the mysterious runes engraved on her skin have more to them than she ever guessed, and her life is about to be upended in the most royal way. Evie is forced to help a royal family that has vanished to earn her freedom.
The catch? She’s saddled with three brooding, intense Royal Protectors, each with secrets and motives that seem to intertwine with her own.
Oh, and did I mention the demon ex-boyfriend literally creeping in from hell? Because, yes, he’s here for that extra level of spicy, paranormal drama. If the protectors aren’t enough to get your heart racing, this fiery ex will!
