Amaya Greymire, the deadliest assassin in the realm and a shadowed enigma of the Assassin’s Guild, is haunted by the ghosts of a past she cannot outrun. When her former mentor and father figure reappears with knowledge that could dismantle her entire existence, Amaya is thrust into a perilous game of survival where every move could spell her doom. Meanwhile, Prince Tiberianus Hevelius, the king’s younger son, hides a dangerous truth—he is illegitimate, a secret that could shatter his standing and the delicate balance of the throne. After uncovering a cryptic message within the royal archives that details a sinister plot to assassinate his father, King Valerius, Tiberianus finds himself unraveling a conspiracy that threatens not just his family but the entire kingdom of Serendel. His investigation leads him into the shadowy underbelly of the capital, where secrets fester and danger lurks in every corner. It is there, among the darkness, that Tiberianus crosses paths with Amaya. Reluctant allies with opposing loyalties and hidden motives, the two strike a fragile partnership, their lives bound by the same serpentine game of lies and treachery. As the stakes rise and their fates intertwine, they must navigate a world where trust is a luxury, betrayal is a currency, and the cost of failure is steep. Together, they may have a chance to unravel the plot against the throne—but only if they can survive the serpents coiled in the shadows.
