Dead assistant walking

Princess Poppy was raised to inherit a kingdom on the edge of collapse.

As assassinations spread, protests grow, and whispers of a revolutionary group known as the Hollow Court ignite unrest, she is ordered to uncover the truth behind the chaos. Her only ally is Ghost Fenwick, a brilliant but unsettling assistant who sees secrets where others see nothing.

As their investigation deepens, they uncover buried records, erased histories, and a conspiracy stretching back decades. At the center of it all lies a name long believed dead: Myskia Fenwick-the infamous Execution Child.

But history lied.

Now Poppy must decide whether to defend the crown she was born to inherit or expose the crimes that built it. And Ghost must choose between justice and revenge before the kingdom tears itself apart.

As old wounds reopen and forbidden feelings grow between them, both discover that the greatest danger is not the truth itself-but what people will do to keep it buried.

The Assistant Who Should Be Dead is a political fantasy mystery about power, memory, and whether anyone can escape the role history chose for them.
