An Assassin's Oath

Naia, a bloodbender, was born to be a weapon-a living embodiment of death itself. Raised as an orphaned assassin by Etos, Master of the Blood Assassin's Keep, Naia's life has been nothing but torment. Isolated from the world, trained to kill, she has never known peace-or freedom. She's feared her own blood magic for her entire life, enduring years of unpredictable, violent death caused by her own hand, all due to Etos' obsessions with her and her abilities.

But when the notorious assassin is captured during a mission, she crosses paths with Rhoyn, the prince of the enemy kingdom. Her life at the Keep is suddenly turned on its head, vanishing.

Naia soon discovers that the male with terrifying magic and a taste for pain is not simply the prince of a rival kingdom. He's a horrifying, skilled warrior, and his obsession with killing blood hunters-the nightmarish, torturous beings that love to slaughter innocents across the continent-draws her in, despite the storm of confusion she feels for him.

After an attack that changes everything, they are forced to learn to fight together, and Naia discovers more about herself, her powers, and a strange bond that she can't yet understand. And when unexpected allies emerge from a childhood that she cannot remember, she's forced to confront her past and decide who she will become-and who she can trust.
