To what lengths would you go to find justice for your family? Who might you be willing to betray?
Silas Graveston doesn’t concern himself with such matters.
As the assassin for his duke, the beloved brother of the sovereign upon the throne, there are few, if any, limits to the working of his blades or mind.
But events far larger than the political machinations of Draykemire are about to disrupt the careful ordering of Silas’s world. The hands of fate have conspired to give him something—and someone—he deeply desires not to lose.
When Natalya Slipshayde steps foot in the city of Sanctuary, his family’s stolen necklace bright upon her throat, Silas cannot help but respond.
Just like his enemies hoped he would.
For those who relish stories of fate and magic: The courtly intrigue of One Dark Window meets the sultriness of From Blood and Ash and the natural magic of For the Wolf in this lyrical, first-in-series dark fantasy novel by Beth Ball.
