Prince Cornelius has never been a man of warmth or mercy. Ruthless, calculating, and destined for the throne, he has built his life on strength - not sentiment. Yet the ancient law demands he marry before he can wear the crown.
Hundreds of women are paraded before him. Only three are chosen: the icy beauty Ondine, the fierce Calista, and the enigmatic Cressida. Over six months, he must spend day and night with each, until the full moon demands his final choice.
But beneath Cressida's shy smiles and clumsy attempts at seduction lies a dark secret. She is no noble daughter - she is an assassin, sent to destroy the kingdom from within. Every moment she spends with Cornelius, she battles two enemies: the prince she is meant to betray, and the treacherous beat of her own heart.
In a court where betrayal drips like poison from every gilded wall, love is the deadliest weapon of all.
One crown. One assassin. One love that could ruin them both.

"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Complete
