THE BLACK AREOW

Black Arrow

Book One of the Embers of the Forgotten Throne series

They call her Black Arrow.

A ghost cloaked in darkness. An assassin whose arrows never miss. A legend whispered about in royal courts and noble halls alike. No king sleeps soundly, knowing she is still out there.

Norielle Ardent has spent her entire life hunting the powerful, driven by a single purpose: make every corrupt royal pay for the sins they have buried beneath their crowns.

Her final target is the Kingdom of Nythara.

Disguised as a palace maid, Norielle slips behind castle walls with one mission-to ignite a war that will bring kingdoms to their knees. But when the suspicious Prince Kaelor insists on making her his personal maid, her carefully crafted plans begin to unravel. His relentless teasing, unwavering kindness, and infuriating smile force her to question everything she thought she knew about the people she has sworn to destroy.

As secrets buried for nearly two decades begin to surface, Norielle finds herself caught between vengeance and truth, loyalty, and love. With kingdoms on the brink of war and enemies hiding behind familiar faces, she must decide whether the greatest threat lies within the palace... or within the life she has always believed was her own.

Because sometimes the deadliest arrow isn't the one aimed at a king.

It's the one that shatters the truth.
