The Stars and the Flames (FREE PREVIEW)

Astrid Bruckis never thought her life could get any more complicated. Nicknamed the Knife of Kentaurus, she lives day-to-day as an assassin, shedding blood and completing contracts with her second, Lynda.

However, when one contract given to her by royal blood forces her to travel to another planet and pose as a foreign royal ambassador in order to murder their royal family, Astrid's life becomes just that: a complicated game solely determined on her ability to lie. Add the gorgeous and mysterious captain of the royal guard into the mix, and Astrid is in way over her head.

However, on her home planet, another game is being played, one that may cost her her freedom and eventually her life.
