Pyresi Tolruh is known among the elven realms as Assassin of the Pure-a title earned through blood, obedience, and silence. Raised on an isolated island where emotions are carved away as weakness, she has been trained since childhood to kill in the name of balance, purity, and protection. She believes the world is safer because of her hands.
She has no memories of her parents. No past beyond steel, orders, and discipline. Only her name troubles her-Pyresi, a name whispered with reverence and unease among elves, a name she does not understand.
When Pyresi is sent on her most sacred mission yet-to assassinate the King of the Dark Elves, a ruler long branded as corrupt and dangerous-she expects nothing more than another clean execution. But the moment she stands before him, something fractures. Her body reacts before her mind does. The bond between them ignites-ancient, forbidden, undeniable.
As Pyresi begins to unravel the truth about her past, the Order tightens its grip, hunting their most prized weapon before she can remember who she truly is. Torn between the life she was shaped to live and the truth awakening inside her, Pyresi must decide whether purity is worth the cost of identity-or whether the world she thought she was protecting is built on a lie. Dark romance and political intrigue collide in a story of fate, betrayal, and a girl who was never meant to survive.
