The Heart of Betrayal (The Remnant Chronicles #2) By: Mary E. Pearson Published: July 7, 2015 by Henry Holt and Co. 480 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Held captive in the barbarian kingdom of Venda, Lia and Rafe have little chance of escape . . . and even less of being together. Desperate to save her life, Lia’s erstwhile assassin, Kaden, has told the Vendan Komisar that she has a magical gift, and the Komisar's interest in Lia is greater than either Kaden or Lia foresaw.
