For years, the faceless terror known as the Hand of Fate has been secretly manipulating the port city of Reyza for her shadowy ends. Those she favors rise in status while those who betray her are never heard from again. When the opportunity to eliminate a powerful dynasty presents itself, the Hand of Fate conspires with a sadistic diplomat who shares the king's bed. Together, they hatch a plan to assassinate their rivals. The plan is flawless-every variable calculated-except for one. On the night the Hand of Fate's hired assassin makes his move, a notorious thief is also making his. Jarle Jadien has had it with the gray-haired harpy whom he serves and succumbs to the greatest temptation of all: The Ensther estate is home to the king's betrothed and a fortune in jewels. When the risky heist takes a disastrous turn, Jarle finds himself in possession of a treasure he has no intention of keeping. Avaren Ensther is beauty and intrigue in one, and a keeper of secrets that reach far beyond Jarle's world of whiskey and disrepute. Reyza's infamous thief has had his heart stolen from under his nose, but time will tell if his sirenic temptress proves worthy. Within the city walls, a retired war-hero investigates the conspiracy and attempts to uphold justice, but his efforts may not suffice to prevent an all-out war. Too many vengeful plots have festered; too much blood spilled. As the moons reach a cataclysmic alignment, unleashing the terrible force of the tides, neither hero, criminal, nor all-powerful monarch; can escape the tendrils of fate.

She would nonstop practicing and grew stronger everyday. She aimed to avenge for her family and that's what she lived for; revenge. Being a professional assassin, she's always remained poker face and never show her emotion to other. It's started because of her bad memory in past that made her changed. What will happen when she's been asked to protect the heir of the Amerald throne; prince Alexander De'Vousher Conner from being targetted by the unknown people who hated the royal family.

She's afraid if people recognized her (although the first rule of assassin is to hide your identity; must wear a mask). She's once came from the noble family; her parents were the Duke and Duchess of Amerald and that's mean she's well known to the Amerald people as Lady Ann Lilith Blance. What's she afraid the most is if she has to face-to-face with the prince, her childhood friend. "Your eyes reminded me of someone" - Prince Alexander. "And who it might be?" - Ace. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The lovely story cover was made by @JinAhUnnie ;)
