A Shadow in the Ember

When Seraphena is sent to seduce the Primal of Death as his Consort, everyone believes she's a sheltered maiden fulfilling an ancient prophecy—but she's actually a lethal assassin with orders to make him fall in love with her before striking the fatal blow. The problem? The dark, compelling Primal is nothing like she expected, and his unexpected tenderness begins to crack the carefully constructed walls around her heart, making her question everything she's been taught to believe about duty, destiny, and what it means to truly live. As Sera navigates a dangerous game where her feelings threaten to derail her mission and doom her entire kingdom, she'll have to decide what she's willing to sacrifice—her purpose, her life, or the man she was never supposed to love. JLA delivers an absolutely gripping enemies-to-lovers story packed with dark fantasy intrigue, sizzling tension, and a heroine who'll have you rooting for her impossible choice.
