To destroy the cruel lord who shattered her past and stole her mother's life, a quiet healer must hire the deadliest blade money can buy. But a brutal journey through the holdfasts reveals a truth that changes everything: her target is her own father. As her mission unravels, so does her isolation.

It's her way of staying alive. And then there's him. Mattheo Riddle. The Dark Lord's son with a knife in his coat and a storm behind his eyes. He threatens. She retaliates. He corners. She bleeds and smiles. He held the knife. She wrote the end. But neither of them are ready for what's coming.
