The Crown: The Pearls and the Crown Duology
Product Description Lady Lea―beloved sister of the Emperor Caelan―is gifted with the ability to see into others' hearts and when she is moved to tears, those tears become pearls. When the hardened warrior Lord Shadrael kidnaps her and takes her through the fearsome Hidden Ways of the shadow world, Lea can foresee her destiny in him. For if she is to save Shadrael from his own darkness, she will ultimately have to choose between her brother and her abductor. About the Author Since beginning my professional career as a novelist in 1978, I've had over 40 books published, including Regency romances, young adult, science fiction, and fantasy. Some of my early science fiction was published under two pseudonyms -- Sean Dalton and Jay D. Blakeney. More recently, I wrote a fantasy young adult trilogy under the name C. Aubrey Hall: CRYSTAL BONES, THE CALL OF EIRIAN, and MAGE FIRE. Currently I hold the John Crain Presidential Professorship at the University of Oklahoma, where I teach novel and short story writing in the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication.
