About this book

When a ruthless Assassin Lord's prized protégé finds herself imprisoned in a noble's household, she's offered a lifeline: complete one dangerous assignment and claim the revenge that's consumed her for a decade—the death of the Fae Fire Prince who murdered her mother. But as children vanish from her new home, Scarlett must choose between the vengeance that defines her and saving the innocent, plunging her into a dark mystery that challenges everything she believes. With help from unlikely allies—old friends, a lover she wronged, and a mysterious stranger who claims impossible magic exists—she uncovers secrets that suggest the darkness threatening her world runs far deeper than anyone imagined. Prepare for a deliciously dark fantasy brimming with possessive supernatural beings, heart-pounding action, and a slow-burn connection that will have you questioning whether the real monster is the one she's hunting—or the one falling for her.
