Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, Wishtress' magical redemptive arc, and Encanto's Latin vibe.

Seventeen-year-old assassin Cottia is desperate to leave behind the work she's been forced into.

Her lord offers freedom in exchange for one last hit. The assignment is to start a war by killing a target during the Giddelian prince's betrothal selection ceremony.

When the prince uncovers her identity, he offers her a new opportunity. Will his invitation grant her freedom from the notorious underlord?

"Fans of no-spice romance with a dash of darker themes will love this book about an assassin changed by the unlikely friendship of a prince who can see beyond a person's past. The banter, the one-horse moments, and the Latin vibes will keep you turning pages late into the night."

- C. F. E. Black, author of The Starlit Prince
