The Prince I Was Ordered To Kill

Elena Thorn was raised to hate the Ravaryn.

After losing her village to the war, she was taken in by the soldiers of the Kingdom of Aurelia, trained with a blade, and shaped into the perfect weapon for the crown. Her newest mission should be simple: sneak into the enemy kingdom, get close to Prince Cassian, and kill him before dawn.

But Cassian is not the monster she was promised.

He is reckless, charming, infuriatingly kind, and far too easy to want. When he catches Elena inside his castle, he does not call for the guards. He hides her instead. Worse, he offers her a dangerous bargain: give him seven days to prove that everything she knows about the war is a lie.

Elena only agrees because she still plans to finish the mission.

At least, that is what she tells herself.

As secrets unravel and stolen glances turn into something neither of them can afford, Elena is forced to question the kingdom that raised her, the war that made her, and the prince she was sent to destroy.

Because loving Cassian would make her a traitor.

Killing him might destroy what is left of her heart.

And when the truth about her past finally comes to light, Elena will have to decide whether she is still the king's assassin...

Or the girl who was never meant to be his weapon.
