The Duchess Melissa Leister

Conquering the Golden Way and becoming the Empire's foremost courtesan was Riaka Rienn's dream; learning she was a succubus and becoming a Duchess were not. Stifled by life at the palace, Rienn accepts an adventure on the high seas only to find that being a King's daughter touched her more deeply than she realized when an old enemy arises. Can Rienn learn to harness her gift in order to save her friends and family? The Duchess is the second book in The Pearl Bracelet Trilogy and is part of Melissa Leister's Tales of the Empire collection. Melissa is also the author of the Natasha Carmichael and Marked series.
