When an infamous assassin meets a poisonous rogue, they find themselves entangled in a series of events hinging on a dubious prophecy that could spell the end of the five kingdoms as they know it.

********

Yuehwa is the Phoenix, a mercenary who snuffs lives in exchange for gold and good food. While she travels the five kingdoms tasting all the delicacies she can afford, she meets poisons expert Shoya - the White Scorpion - on board a ship to the island kingdom of Dahai, where the beautiful Rose Princess is to hold a tournament to find a worthy husband.  

What begins as a nosy bit of fun soon spirals into greater responsibility, and Yuehwa commits herself to helping the princess take control of her own fate. At the same time, she discovers that Shoya has infiltrated the Dahai palace and seems to be hiding a lot more than he has let on. With one thing leading to another, Yuehwa and Shoya are forced to juggle secret identities, navigate political schemes and fight insidious enemies in order to maintain a precarious balance across the kingdoms. But in order to win this war, they may have to sacrifice everything - including their own hearts.

Daneira Pang never asked for this life. It's a lonely path, and Aleksandr Volkov is one of her only reprieves in the constant life-and-death situations she lived through daily. And when he crashes into her house and announces that the Black Camellia has been sighted within the country, she's ecstatic. After all, they'd both been hunting the assassin for years, and that's also why she knew this wouldn't be easy. There were only two reasons and two reasons alone why Aleksandr Volkov had willingly accepted this mission and went into the eye of the storm: one, because one of the Black Camellia's first targets had been his childhood friend; and two, because Danna was in Melique, and damned if he was going to let her face the Black Camellia alone. The two agents would go to the end of the world to apprehend the assassin-and for each other. (Book Two of The Lady Kuroki's School for Girls trilogy)
