Solenya, the only daughter of a brutal ruling family, has been raised beneath iron rules to inherit an empire built on fear. To the world, she is expected to mirror her parents' cruelty, but beneath her regal mask lies a fragile heart that longs only for freedom. Bound by the chains of her bloodline, she dreads the throne that awaits her. When despair threatens to consume her, a man emerges from the shadows, an elegant noble whose charm hides a deadly secret. He is no suitor, but an assassin sworn to end her family's reign. Yet in Solenya, he does not find the monster he was prepared to strike down, but a woman desperate to escape her fate. For the first time, his blade trembles, and both their destinies shift in ways neither could foresee.
