Untamed, Still by Ann Archur

She walked away from the man who would have given her everything. Now she must survive without him. Ndaté has crossed an ocean with two infant sons and nowhere left to hide. Her destination— the royal palace of Agra. A place of silk. Power. And women who kill to keep both. The Emperor chooses Ndaté. His favourite does not. She has already murdered one rival to protect her place beside the most powerful man in Hindustan. And Ndaté has just become another. Then one of her sons disappears. Alejandro de Mendoza has always been able to protect what belongs to him. Except his own family. Now Ndaté must survive the palace without him. Find the child she has lost. Protect the son she still has. And become the one thing that may keep them both alive— the Emperor's favourite. Every night he chooses her brings Ndaté greater power. And one night closer to death. The unforgettable conclusion to the Hearts in Ruin trilogy.
