Portraits and Prophecies

Trust is hard-won. Once it’s lost, gaining it back is next to impossible ...

When Ryely finds out she is the Painted Princess of a prophecy that says she will be the one to change the realm, she has no idea what it even means. Life is never simple, or uncomplicated. Especially Ryely’s. 
People aren’t who they say they are, there are blossoming attractions where she never expected, a brother still out to kill her, and that’s just for starters. 
The icing on the cake? Ryely isn’t sure she can trust the one man she thought she could. 
Evil is still lurking in the shadows. How can Ryely survive each mounting problem? Will she have new help from a different front. Will it even matter?
