An assassin sent to kill a prince. A quest that brings them together. Love wasn’t part of the plan...

Erin Fletcher had one mission and one mission only — kill the prince. After years of serving the Council as an assassin without question, Erin has learned that trust is a luxury she can’t afford, and allies don’t exist. This mission should have been simple: infiltrate the prince's quest, strike swiftly, and disappear.

Prince Silas has spent his life hiding behind a carefully crafted smile, a mask that shields the scars of a past riddled with cruelty and neglect. Determined to prove his worth, he embarks on a quest that may be his one chance to escape his brother’s shadow.

Unknowing of Erin's true intentions, he agrees to partner with her — and they both think it’s the worst decision they’ve made. But as enemies close in, they find themselves relying on each other in ways neither expected — and discovering that sometimes the most unlikely ally is the one who understands you best.

As danger looms and secrets unravel, Erin begins to question her orders— and her heart. Silas, too, finds himself drawn to the one person he shouldn’t trust.

When betrayal strikes, Erin must decide: fulfill her deadly mission or risk everything to save the boy she's grown to love.
