The Rise of Deragon - Paperback

by Sydney Applegate (Author)

Some secrets are better left buried.

For twenty years, an ominous dream turned doomsday prophecy has haunted Broadcove Castle, and when all eyes are on the King and Queen to ensure their safety, everything turns on its head when Princess Pandora Deragon is stolen in the night by a mysterious, masked stranger. Now stranded on an unknown Isle and held for ransom, Pandora discovers that her ultimate fate lies in the hands of Kit Andromeda, a Mosacian man whose hatred for Venus and Jericho runs alarmingly deep.
Pandora never adopted her aunt's and uncle's knack for violence, but to stay alive, she'll have to dig deep into her alternative arsenal. Each hour of her survival is dependent on how well she can stay out of Kit's way and not cause problems. But after years of longing for a romantic connection, Pandora begins to wonder if stirring up affections for Mr. Andromeda might ensure her safety once and for all. It's a seamless plan.
Except for the fact that Pandora's enigmatic captor-the night vigilante who insists that he has no plans to harm her-is planting roots in her heart. He's been waiting in the wings a long time for his chance at Pandora, and his alluring gift of music draws the two closer and closer each night spent together in secret. But there's one thing that snares her soul towards his more than anything else: he knows every dark truth about her family-and he's willing to give it to her...if she'll only give herself over to him.
