The Last Trick by SarahzLilWorld at Inkitt

Summary

When Sera was eleven years old, the king's soldiers rode through her village and left smoke behind them. The king is dead now. But his son sits on the throne, and someone has to answer for what was done. Sera has spent twelve years being patient. Learning. Practicing in cold rooms before anyone else was awake. Building a plan so careful and so quiet that by the time she walks into Prince Davan's great hall on a Tuesday evening with lights drifting above her open palm, she already knows exactly how it ends. What she doesn't plan for is him. Not the monster she built in her head from rumor and grief and twelve years of righteous anger. The real one, guarded, complicated, and more aware of what he is than she expected. As weeks become months and the evenings in his library become something she doesn't have a clean word for, Sera finds herself doing something that was never part of the plan. Making him feel the weight of the lives his family has shaped. And somewhere between the forests she builds in the air between them and the mornings they walk in the garden saying small things that are actually large things in disguise, the ending she has been walking toward starts to look different than it did. She came here knowing exactly what she was going to do. She isn't sure anymore that she can. Written by: SarahzlilWorld

Introduction

Hello everyone

Welcome to The Last Trick - Sera & Davan!

I'm so excited (and a little nervous, honestly) to finally share this one with you. This story has been sitting in my head for a while, a slow-burn fantasy romance about a girl with twelve years of patience and a plan, and a prince who was never supposed to be more than a name on a list. It's got revenge, magic, court intrigue, a found family I love dearly, and a romance I really hope you'll fall into slowly, the way I did while writing it.

A few things before you jump in...

This is a slow burn.

I mean that seriously, this is not an instant spark kind of story. It's a SLOWWWWWWW BURRRRNNNNN. And it is not mature. If you're here for a fast romance or specific types of scenes, this is NOT for you.

If you enjoy it, please like! Every single like genuinely helps this story reach more readers, and it means a real lot to me as an author.

Reviews make my whole week. I read every single one and I love seeing what you're picking up on early.

And if you really love it, share it with a friend who needs a good slow burn in their life.

Thank you so much for being here.

Let's get into it.
