An assassin plagued by her past, a boy forced to become a king, and the fate that binds them together.
Seven years ago Wren Everhart spared a life she was meant to steal, and the decision has haunted her ever since.
Now she's being sent on her biggest assignment yet: to kill the ruler of the oldest kingdom in all of Astrya. But when she learns the king she's meant to kill is the boy she once saved, everything changes.
While the King tries to puzzle out the girl he searched for with the woman he's getting to know, Wren fights a battle with no winning sides. Something enchanting kindles between them, but there are unknown powers at play, and they find themselves being ripped apart at every turn.
But then the King offers her something she's never had before: a choice. One that's as tempting as it is dangerous. Will she spare him yet again, or will he be another life to stain her ruined hands?
