A princess turned thief. A lost prince. An assassin with many faces.
Cursed to die on her twentieth birthday, Eliza seeks out the Black Orchid—an infamous guild of assassins—to take out the man responsible: Prince Alexander. She knew danger would follow. She didn’t expect to find friendship, family, and a deadly infatuation that might spell her ruin.
Jasper Garvey, head Orchid, has no interest in helping cursed thieves. But there’s something about her. She’s kind. Unspoiled. Her presence soothes the monsters in his head—and awakens something far more dangerous.
Meanwhile, Prince Alexander faces a battle of his own. Forced to marry to secure the kingdom’s future, he seeks guidance from the wise-women of Crone’s Wood. Their prophecy promises love—but love rarely plays by the rules.
A dark, tangled love story, ripe with magic, betrayal, obsession, and forbidden kisses behind closed palace doors
