In my world, peace was a dream, closing my eyes for a minute was bliss, fighting felt like breathing, and surviving... Well that's a whole other story.
"You are known as the Ghost. No one knows if they've seen you. No one knows if they've heard you. No one knows who you are, or what you are. Only those that lived to tell the tale of the Ghost in the shadows, speak of your presence. I wanted to know if it were true. The rumours that you never utter a word. That you're the cold blooded killer that no-one will ever know is coming."
Valentina Istreb is the Ghost assassin. Hired by the King of Elarjden, she must protect the crown at all costs. Easy right? Especially when the king's been sending her off on secret missions, and add an arrogant heir prince with a deadly secret. A secret that could ruin everything. Or will it?
Can Valentina protect the crown at all costs? Even if it means losing the one she cares for most?

BLOOD STAINED CROWN
In the kingdom of Valtoria, queens are meant to be soft, obedient, and disposable. Seraphina was supposed to be a pawn-a fragile doll molded by the hands of men who sought to use her. But they underestimated her. At sixteen, she turned the game on them, painting the palace red with their blood. With every execution, every whispered plea for mercy drowned beneath her laughter, she became something far worse than a ruler. She became a monster. Now, at eighteen, she rules alone, feared as the Mad Queen-the Butcher of Valtoria. Her kingdom prospers under her reign of terror, but a queen without a king is an invitation for war. Enemies lurk in the shadows, waiting for the moment to strike. Suitors come not with love, but with hidden daggers, each one eager to claim her throne. But then he arrives. A man unlike any she has ever met-one who does not kneel, does not flinch beneath her gaze. A man with secrets as dark as her own, whose smirk is a challenge, whose touch ignites something unfamiliar within her. He does not seek to tame her; he seeks to match her. And for the first time in her life, Seraphina wonders: Has she finally met someone she cannot break? Or has she found the one person who can destroy her? A tale of blood, power, and the kind of love that consumes.Complete
