Jaelyn Bronte was nineteen years old when she was given the task of killing the Prince of Jaquin. Living as an assassin-for-hire, she didn't have a choice but to follow orders, so that's what she did. Posing as a Princess from a neighbouring Kingdom set to marry her target's brother, Jaelyn now has access to an amount of power she never could have imagined in her entire life living on the streets, and nothing to show for it. She's trapped herself, and the only way out is to kill. William Emery. First-born son of King Hugo Emery. Heir to the throne. And not at all the gentle, soft-hearted Prince Jaelyn thought him to be. An arrogant ass who thinks only of himself should be easy to kill, especially since he knows how to get her so riled up and annoyed. But there's something about him, something that separates him from his brother, whom she is supposed to marry. There's something that stops her every time from finishing the job, and the more she thinks about it, the less in control she becomes. What will happen when her secret is revealed and she is uncovered for what she is? Will forgiveness be waiting for her, or the end of a rope?Complete

Cole Glassad couldn't care less about the upcoming palace ball meant to find a wife for the prince. Her life is down in the dangerous Sparkstone mines, slaving away for a few coins that her stepmother and stepsister promptly steal. With life a living hell, she has barely enough energy to care for the injured animals she tends in secret, much less a party for the royal family that cares so little for her and the people like her. It isn't until a mysterious man appears out of the shadows, claiming to be one of the long-lost faeries and offering her a chance at freedom, that she begins to see hope. In exchange for enough money to free herself from her family, the faerie asks only for one thing in return-- that Cole attends the ball in order to get close enough to the prince to assassinate him and bring an end to the corrupted royal line. With her mission clear, Cole enters the world of the palace to learn about the prince and find a way into his ball. But dark secrets, violent plots, a strange sense that perhaps the prince isn't as bad as the faerie makes him seem, and a life-changing discovery about her past, all conspire to make Cole's shot at freedom messy and difficult. She must find the strength to get close to the prince, or else the mysterious faerie will send her back to the mines and her dreadful family. Once the clock strikes midnight... she must fulfill her end of the bargain. Once the clock strikes midnight... her hands must be red with the prince's blood.Complete
