Nyra Vale was sent to kill the Crown Prince. She never expected to marry him instead.

Trained in the shadows, Nyra has spent her life eliminating targets with precision—until one mission goes terribly wrong. Caught in an ancient magical binding meant for another, she finds herself unwillingly wed to Prince Kael, the man she was ordered to assassinate before midnight.

But Kael knows exactly who she is. And rather than fear her, he welcomes the challenge. As secrets unravel and enemies close in, Nyra must decide whether to finish what she started or embrace the dangerous game she now plays alongside her unexpected husband.

One thing is certain—power, love, and betrayal are woven together in a way neither of them can escape.
