About this book
An assassin trained to never bend, break, or love meets the one person she's sworn to kill—a prince hiding behind a mask, both literally and figuratively. When Re'Niah al-Noor Ishida is tasked with eliminating Prince Taevion Kranis I, she has no idea that fate has other plans, forcing them together in a dragon rider school where their forbidden attraction burns hotter than any flame. As enchantments unravel hidden truths and danger closes in from every side, they must choose between the code that made them and the passion that could destroy everything. Perfect for anyone craving an enemies-to-lovers romance with magic, high stakes, and a couple that makes you believe love can conquer even the deepest betrayals.

Intense, smoldering tension between forbidden souls—dark fantasy energy meets sensual R&B and moody alternative. Think Hozier's raw passion, Phoebe Bridgers' vulnerability, The Weeknd's seductive darkness, and epic orchestral strings. Burning attraction behind careful masks.
