LEILA DUCASSE doesn't believe in mercy, second chances, hesitation or love. She believes they make you weak, vulnerable, and she refuses to let her guard even merely waver to these emotions. She has no reason to believe in them either. 5 years ago she was Anastasie Saint Clair, twelve year old crown princess of Fanaeris until her kingdom was brought to its knees by a betrayal, her best friend a participant. One that fuels her with rage and a taste for vengeance. Perfect, now that she's become an assassin seven years later, slowly making her way up the ropes of Valthana's corrupted. And she doesn't plan on stopping when she slowly begins to creep near royalty. But there's been a change in development. There's a man with familiar golden eyes and sun kissed skin who keeps getting in her way. - When PRINCE AYAZ is given a proposition that could fix all his problems and give him everything he thinks he could ever dream of he takes it, before realizing that doing so means agreeing to do something he swore he'd never do again. Kill. The proposition simply being to get rid of a bounty hunter who seems to be getting too close to his father's friends in return for his freedom. However, his own personal issues towards the matter of death isn't the only thing making this task specifically difficult. Having her alive may happen to be the beginning of his downfall. A lost princess who couldn't care less for her rightful crown, with a never ending bloodlust and need for vengeance. A corrupted kingdom whose only salvation seems to be at the hands of an assassin. And a cruel King with a son who refuses to see blood on his hands ever again.
