The Kulhn Trilogy- Athame

For six hundred years the dynasty founded by the conqueror Agrahain has ruled the kingdom of Kulhn honorably. Now a corrupt king sets his own sons against each other. One prince conspires to assassinate his brothers, while two more duel to the death. The southern forest of Kulhn is deep, and dark, and deadly. Which makes it a perfect refuge for witches on the run from the northern temples. Witches such as Jessera, a young woman wise in the ways of survival. A chance meeting led Jessera to a young nobleman, lost in the woods. But the man she called Pete was much more than he appeared. Before she knew it, they were being chased by royal assassins and temple witch hunters. Loving a prince wasn't quite what she expected.
