She came to the palace to kill a king.
But the deeper she goes, the more the lines between enemy and ally blur.
Jamila has spent thirteen years burning with vengeance, ever since she watched her parents die in a bombing ordered by King George III. Trained in silence and forged by grief, she hides her blade behind kind eyes and a soft smile.
When she's summoned to the royal palace as a servant, it's the perfect chance to strike. But her path to the King is blocked by Princess Zorina: cold, unreadable, and dangerous in ways Jamila never expected.
Zorina doesn't trust anyone.
Jamila doesn't have the luxury of love.
But even the sharpest blade can hesitate at the heart.
And when the crown turns its fire on Jamila's people again, she's faced with an impossible choice: al-tha'r aw al-hubb; vengeance, or love.
In a palace built on blood, even loyalty can be a lie.
