YA
Remnant Chronicles series.
Lia and Rafe must warn their kingdoms of impending invasion. Kaden tracks the pair down and, as usual, complicates matters: he still has feelings for Lia. Lia moves to thwart traitorous cabinet members and prepare her kingdom for war. Developing plot, character, and setting by rotating the point of view among the three protagonists, Pearson brings the ambitious trilogy to a rousing conclusion.

YA
Remnant Chronicles series.
The Kiss of Deception unmasked "the prince" (Rafe) and "the assassin" (Kaden), both of whom fell in love with Princess Lia. Now the fates of all three are in the hands of an iron-fisted ruler. Shifting viewpoints heighten suspense and track events in multiple settings. Bigger-picture world-building points toward a resolution not only of these players' fates but also their respective kingdoms.

YA
Remnant Chronicles series.
Rather than submit to an arranged marriage, seventeen-year-old princess Lia escapes to a distant outpost. She's tracked by her would-be husband--and also by an assassin. Pearson brilliantly headlines their alternating first-person narratives as "the prince" and "the assassin," whereas we know them from Lia's narrative only as Kaden and Rafe, keeping readers guessing which character is which.
