She is the empire's most feared assassin. He is the most wanted rebel in the kingdom. She was sent to kill him. She stayed to burn the empire down instead. For twenty-four years, Seraphine Voss has been the empire's perfect weapon - cold, precise, unquestioning. When she's assigned to infiltrate the Ember Faction and eliminate its elusive leader, she expects another clean mission. She doesn't expect Kael Dawnor to see through her in three days. She doesn't expect to find a community worth protecting instead of destroying. And she doesn't expect to discover that the magic the empire taught her to hunt runs in her own blood. Now the empire isn't hunting rebels anymore. It's building something far worse. And the only person who can stop it is the assassin it made. 🖤 Enemies to lovers · Dark romantasy · Morally grey leads · Found family · Magic system
