In a time where injustice is served with an iron fist with a side of rebellion, the country of France is in a heavy turmoil. The monarchy is ripping at the seams, finally being destroyed by the people the government oppressed. The Guild of Perfect Impostors and all of its members are determined to see the monarchy decapitated.
Eleanor "Queen of No One" Fairfox has called The Guild of Perfect Impostors her home for the last twelve years of her life. She is a tough beauty that knows how to pierce the hearts of men, and not only with a dagger. With her dark past, Eleanor has embraced the light that The Guild brings her, and has vowed to destroy anyone and anything that gets in the way of her missions and threatens to harm anyone in The Guild. Her dangerous life is threatening her wellbeing constantly and is deemed suicidal by their opposing class, the Lambs. But Eleanor will do what it takes to see her and her Guild family survive.
Rosanna Villienreil, or "Lady Guillotine" to those who have been more unfortunate to come across her blade is a vision of a young woman with beauty and grace, making her one of The Guild's most valuable decoys. Rosanna's past is not that of a simple one. Born into an upper class lamb family she had everything, all the dresses she could ever want, a loving family, and all the money in the world until the dark shadows of an Assassin's life became the only refuge she had left. For the last four years the Perfect Impostors have shaped her into an elite soldier. So don't let her looks and perfect manners fool you love, she may have been born the prey, but she was raised a predator.

On The Edge of a Blade
Things aren't going too well in the kingdom of Gushénn. The very oasis it's built upon is drying up, the border conflicts with the savages are becoming worse, and the royal family is starting to fall apart. And, to make matters worse, an elite group of anarchists has joined forces to kill King Vincent and steal his throne. Against her will, the infamous assassin Alister finds herself in the thick of things. She trained for her entire life to become the perfect human weapon, able to kill a man a dozen ways without batting an eye. The entire life that she's built for herself starts to crumble, however, as she's blackmailed into banding with the anarchists. But Rose Alister isn't as immoral as she seems. Even as an angel of death, she still finds that there are limits to what she is willing to do for money. Because of that, her loyalty and support for Prince James--the king's unappreciated and unstable younger son--become her greatest hindrance and her most crippling dilemma. For the first time in her life, she cannot bring herself to kill without remorse. As the anarchy plot within the kingdom thickens, assassin and prince come together. It's up to them to decide whether the kingdom is worth saving, even as they are forced to determine if they can first save themselves. Faced with a multitude of conflicts, Rose and James must put pride aside and learn to work together. But how can two clashing personalities hope to join forces and fix themselves, let alone mend a crumbling kingdom? (Disclaimer: "On The Edge of a Blade" addresses heavy themes. There is light profanity and references to some topics that are inappropriate for younger audiences. Please be aware of that while reading, though it shouldn't reach past a PG-13 rating. The most common justification for such a rating will be violence.) Cover Credits: @Owelz_The_OnlyComplete
