The Edge of Brightness

A Fantasy Romance Novella (The Chanters Novellas 3)

She’s a princess with a broken engagement. His proposal is too tempting to refuse.

Sahar Raddan is the daughter of the Inetian emperor. When her arranged engagement is broken, she’s no longer considered marriage material—or good for much at all.

Then Jianyu Liang, an obnoxiously handsome noble from distant Zhonghua, arrives in her city, and makes a shocking proposal: a marriage of convenience. He’ll use his status to return Sahar to favor if she helps him track down a missing book of ancient magic—a book he believes was stolen by the great traitor of Ineti . . . who also happens to be Sahar’s brother.

With nothing left to lose, Sahar agrees to Jianyu’s proposal and is swept into an intricate game of intrigue, lies, and dangerous magic. Now Sahar and Jianyu must work together to recover the book before it falls into the wrong hands, while also contending with their growing feelings for each other—and whether they want to call their engagement off at all.

The Edge of Brightness is a slow-burn, marriage-of-convenience fantasy romance novella and is the third book in The Chanters Novellas series. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone, but are best if read in sequence. If you love the complex intrigue of Megan Whalen Turner’s Queen’s Thief series and the slow-burn romance of Sherwood Smith, then this series is for you.
