In the kingdom of Elarion, blood is the price of peace and vengeance the only truth left unbroken.
Alarm Thorn has lived her life in the shadows, her heart forged in loss and fire. Once the daughter of a noble general, now a nameless assassin, she has spent years preparing for one purpose - to kill the King who destroyed her family and reclaim the justice stolen from her name.
But when she enters the royal Tournament of Blades under a false identity, her path collides with that of Duke Corren Vale - a man whose eyes hold the same grief she carries, and whose secrets run deeper than she could ever imagine. Drawn to him despite herself, Alarm finds her vengeance blurring into something far more dangerous: desire.
As blades flash and kingdoms tremble, truths will unravel - and the hunter will learn that love can cut deeper than any weapon.
When revenge and love stand on opposite sides of the sword,
only one can survive the dance.
