Seyra has been trained to kill without hesitation, without feeling. But when she is assigned the mission to assassinate Prince Kaelion-the key to winning the war-her world begins to waver.
In Morvalan, nothing is as she expected: her enemy is not a tyrant but a man with eyes that see more than they should. As danger grows and lies entwine, Seyra faces the one rule she was never supposed to break: not letting herself be pricked by the thorns of her enemy. Which is difficult, because a rose will always prick, no matter how beautiful it is, and thorns always leave scars.
