In the smog-choked city of Valdora, rebellion festers in the shadows while the world bows to one man's rule.
Lena Voss is a resistance operative-trained to deceive, to seduce, to dismantle tyranny from within. Her newest mission: infiltrate the court of Alaric Vane, the iron-fisted ruler feared across the continent.
But Alaric is not the monster the world paints him to be. He's calculated, charismatic, and haunted by a vision of order no one else dares to understand. When Lena enters his world under false pretenses, the game of masks begins-and every glance, every lie, every touch blurs the line between betrayal and desire.
In a kingdom ruled by fear, can love bloom between two enemies? Or will it destroy them both before the truth is ever revealed?

Between Daggers & Oaths || Book 2
Hope is as rare as water in a kingdom of sun-scorched sands and ancient walls. Princess Ilaria of Sigyn is poised to secure peace for her desert kingdom through an arranged marriage to Prince Godred, the ruler of a rival land. But when a shadowy assassin nearly takes her life, her plans-and her trust in those around her-crumble like desert dust. Forced into hiding on the distant island of Zospery, she finds herself under the protection of Lord Alaric Voss, a man as cold and unyielding as the sea cliffs that guard his home. Alaric is known as the Devil of the Spire, a relentless warrior with a reputation for cruelty and a heart as closed off as the fortress he commands. Yet, beneath his rigid exterior lies a past scarred by loyalty and loss, and he'll do whatever it takes to keep the princess alive-even if it means standing against the forces that seek to silence her forever. As enemies close in and the line between duty and desire blurs, Ilaria must confront a harsh truth: her greatest danger may not be the assassins lurking in the shadows, but the man who stands beside her, guarding secrets that could shatter everything she's fought to protect. But the more she learns about the unyielding knight, the more she sees glimpses of a depth that calls to her, even as her own resolve hardens into something far less forgiving. In the shifting sands of war and whispered betrayals, two souls clash-one desperate to keep hope alive, the other burdened by a past he cannot escape. And as threats loom from all sides, Ilaria and Alaric will have to decide whether they can truly trust one another... or if the secrets they keep will be the very things that tear them apart. -- COVER BY @-deeisdead- ONC 2024 SHORTLISTER
