Alaura Aizen is the royal assassin for a tyrannical king. After failing a mission for the first time, she begins to question her place in the King's council. She allows rebels to abduct her with the intent to end them, but when curiosity overcomes her logic, she has to choose what side she's truly on.
She leaves the only place she ever called home and finds a new sanctuary, but her heart pulls her in so many directions she can't figure out which path is the right one.
Crown of Blood is a story of secrets and betrayal, with just a touch (or two ;)) of romance. It is the first book in a duology, and ends on a cliffhanger. It cannot be read as a standalone.
