A ruthless assassin. A chance at vengeance. A deadly secret… The slow-burn epic fantasy romance sensation that has gripped readers on Booktok!

'A great plot, perfect tension, and sweet betrayal' ★★★★★ Reader review

A cage

Owned by a ruthless assassin lord, Scarlett Monrhoe and her two sisters are the most feared trio on the continent. They are wild and unpredictable, until a tragic night finds Scarlett locked away in a noble's household until she's ready to fall into line.

A choice

Finally, Scarlett is presented with a job. If she completes the assignment, her payment will be something she has coveted for ten years: revenge against the Fire Fae Prince who brutally killed her mother ten years ago.

A mystery

But when children begin disappearing from her home, all her plans are put on hold as she races to save them. With the help of old friends, a jilted lover, and a mysterious newcomer who claims the magic of the Fae is possible in the mortal lands, Scarlett delves into the darkest corners of the world. Forgotten secrets will come to light, and she'll discover that the darkness extends far beyond her own kingdom.

Perfect for fans of:

  • Enemies to Lovers
  • Fae
  • Vampires
  • Morally Grey MMC
  • Found family
  • Assassin FMC
