A CROWN OF DIAMONDS AND DEATH
[ 18+ ONGOING AND SLOW UPDATES ]
Rebel Smith has spent two years of her life in Sangrea's maximum-security prison. Seven hundred and thirty days of captivity and counting.
King Cyrus had sentenced the assassin and the rest of her guild to rot in the cells as retribution for the lives they had taken.
She supposes it's not that bad, as she has better living conditions than many other prisoners. Then again, many are too scared to share a cell with the former best assassin on the continent. Nonetheless, every Friday, Rebel fights in the prison's pits for a few coins each match and as entertainment for the drunks of the kingdom. And as the reigning champion, she even gets a few extra perks.
But being cooped up in a cell tending to her bloody knuckles wasn't how the former assassin envisioned spending her time.
So, of course, the former assassin thinks it is her day of execution when she gets called down and escorted by guards outside of the prison.
But this isn't the case. The new king, King Salvatore, recruits her for a mission in exchange for her freedom and payment. The only catch?
As a Lycan herself, she has to live with an Alpha and his pack while she trains for the mission. And ultimately go on a mission with him to execute a disobedient lord of the North.
But nothing is ever easy. Rebel suddenly finds herself in the middle of a world of dangerous politics brimming with magic, secrets, and deadly games.
