Elle Hallor: The Mistress of Deception. The Shatterer of Hearts. A Desperate Assassin Trying to Belong.
  
                            *********

Elle had always yearned for a place in high society. Spinning tales were her speciality, weaving threads of truth and lie to ensnare her prey. There was nothing to save them from tripping into her intricate traps.

Her loyalties are sworn to the Order, one of the networks of assassins across Myndor. Assassins do not get the satisfaction of knowing why they need to kill another enemy; retrieve another arcane item. She knows this. Enemies are lurking at every turn -- from the ancient jungles of Sirimiri and the Arichor tribes to the decaying City of Smoke. 

In a world ripe with betrayal and shadows, there's no time for chasing frivolous dreams of passion. Else one might find themselves choking on smoke from the spreading fire they didn't heed...

As the sole heir, she is burdened by her father's failing health, her mother's recent death, and a looming marriage to the prince of Valmara-a union that feels more like a trap than an alliance.

Drawn together by their shared history and the kingdom's peril, they must navigate a web of betrayal, hidden alliances, and forbidden love. As tensions rise, Isolde must decide whether to trust Eoin to uncover the truth behind Valmara's intentions, even as she questions the loyalty of her own council. Their shared journey will test the limits of love and loyalty, pushing them to face their past and risk everything to save Eryndor from impending ruin.
