Desperate and willing to do whatever it takes to get it back, she turns to Obol Reed—the town’s newest resident.

Little does she know, he has an agenda of his own.

Obol Reed is traveling the country, on a mission to cut loose ends from his past. It’s no coincidence his journey includes only small-towns with one thing in common—werewolves. During his latest stop, rather than unearth the answers he seeks, he finds a new mystery in Roan Brown—beautiful, sassy, and in over her head.

To save Roan from herself, Obol will make a choice that’ll change their lives forever.

In a town where secrets have claws and ignorance is deadly, can a cynic who believes magic is "ridiculous" and an outcast with a dark secret—or two—trust each other enough to survive? As stakes rise, revelations will threaten to shatter everything they know about themselves.

Joss Brevyn is the last heir in a long line of executioners. Although a woman, the same rules still apply: kill the condemned within three tries, or be tortured and killed. Joss has yet to miss her mark, and even though she spends her free time as a healer, the town views her only as a deathsman. So when she and her assistant, Henrik, stumble upon a beaten man on the way home, both are hesitant to reveal who they really are. The only problem is, so is he.

Aric Kayden has seen better days. After failing to assassinate his last victim, he's left bleeding on the side of the road until he's found and taken in by Joss and Henrik, two seemingly innocent locals. Healing from his wounds, Aric is still haunted by the target he didn't kill, especially by those who paid him. Despite the undeniable attraction between him and Joss, Aric can't bring himself to tell the truth: that the masked figures who hired him knows where he is, and his original target is the mysterious prisoner who was recently sentenced to death. Forced to uphold the deal, Aric's only job now is to make sure the execution goes as planned and eliminate whoever intervenes.

Bound by their duties, both Joss and Aric assume this next kill will be easy. But then one of them has a change of heart, sparking a chain reaction that could leave one-or both-of them dead.

Cyril Rhodea has always feared the Kingdom of Reykr. Generations of dark fables shroud the isolated moon-fae realm, its reclusive people steeped in rumors of sacrifice and sanguine arts—a stark contrast to the orderly, conservative sun-fae states of Southern Carinae.

But when a contract to investigate murders plaguing the notorious kingdom is awarded to her uncle’s esteemed rogues’ guild, everything changes.

Cyril is forced to confront those long-standing fears and does so with Reykr’s Prince Commander, determined to get under her skin. Mikael exudes unchecked arrogance that rivals the reckless recruits Cyril has spent years tolerating, and despising him should come with ease.

Fate, however, is rarely so kind.

As she finds herself torn between the conflicting pulls of duty and desire in a world determined to break her, Cyril knows only one thing for certain: No one will leave Reykr unscathed.

I was meant to be his destruction. I only hoped he wouldn't be mine.

After her mother’s assassination, Kiera gave up her crown to become a spy. She’s spent years training to earn the title of High Enforcer—the elite embodiment of justice in Rellmira. But first, she must prove she's worthy by hunting down any threat to her father's rule.

When a mysterious prisoner becomes such a threat, Kiera goes undercover to learn his true intentions.

But Aiden won’t reveal his secrets easily. His charming tongue spins lies as deftly as Kiera’s does, and he claims he’s just a thief looking for gold.

Upon their escape, Kiera proposes they work together on a risky heist—and Aiden agrees.

But the line between allies and enemies begins to blur as he slowly surrenders the trust she is now reluctant to destroy.
