"[With] all the lush world-building and intoxicating magic of the Harry Potter universe," a romantasy about a sorceress's deadly deal with her sexy enemy (Entertainment Weekly).

My heart wasn't part of the deal when I bargained for my life, but assassins so rarely keep their word.

Exiled Charmer Leena Edenfrell is running out of time. Empty pockets forced her to sell her beloved magical beasts -- an offense punishable by death -- and now there's a price on her head. With the realm's most talented murderer-for-hire nipping at her heels, Leena makes Noc an offer he can't refuse: powerful mythical creatures in exchange for her life.

Plagued by a curse that kills everyone he loves, Noc agrees to Leena's terms in hopes of finding a cure. Never mind that the dark magic binding the assassin's oath will eventually force him to choose between Leena's continued survival... and his own.

"Fantasy romance at its finest." ? C.L. Wilson, New York Times-bestselling author of Lord of the Fading Lands
