All Leila wants is her freedom: to roam the world and go as she pleases, every cell in her body yearns for it. But the orphaned assassins of the Yami temple are not allowed to leave until they turn eighteen, and that is months away. When a foreign king calls, offering an early escape, Leila and her childhood friend Elijah take the job without hesitation. Thrown overnight into a world of court and politics, the two quickly realize they are woefully unprepared. 

    With a lifetime of training, but no knowledge of the outside world, the two assassins must infiltrate the locked away kingdom of a murderous king and kill him. Failure will cost them their lives; success will grant them freedom. 

    A kingdom of monsters and deadly secrets has Leila questioning everything that she is. Lies are spun, hearts are played, and suspicions thicken, all while time is running out. Leila is left with the decision that puts the fate of thousands into her blood-stained hands. She must fight for freedom and those that she loves most, but she cannot save both.

WitchHunter ✔️, écrit par EmilyAnnGoodwin

A WitchHunter with a glorious destiny. An assassin desperate for freedom. A stable boy with a dangerous secret. A friend with a hidden family. A brother who craves vengeance. ~~~ The deceit is this: The Hunter has a Lochri daughter. The stable boy has a secret curse. The WitchMaster isn't what he appears. No one knows how or why the Lochri came into being. Some believe it was the work of gods. Others, many, many others, believe they are spawned from something much darker. WitchHunters, employed at Hunter's guilds, live their lives in search of these monsters, these unnatural beings who dare to question the order we have kept in place for centuries. I do not hold the title of WitchHunter, however, for I am something far more sinister. I am Alice, the Demon Raven of Kindleridge, and I'm their Ace. ~~~ They call her the Ace, the assassin owned by Velius Dag, highest ranking WitchMaster in the Kingdom. For six years, the Ace has lived mostly unbothered, but all that will change when Hale Arsen, Velius's adopted son, returns to the Ridge, and the Ace is assigned to protect him, as he will one day become the future WitchMaster. Tensions rise as the two clashing personalities come together time after time in feud, but with the Lochri problem growing ever stronger, and secrets begin to unravel themselves, these two opposing forces will have to realize that working together may be the only way to keep the world from figuring out the truth that could spell disaster for them all. What happens when you realize you might be the bad guy?
