The Winter King's Assassin

She was forged in the dark to end his reign. He bound their souls to save her life.

Lyra Ashenmoor is a masterpiece of lethal engineering. Ripped from the ashes of her home and broken in the subterranean academies of the Autumn Court, she was forged into the perfect, unfeeling assassin. Her ultimate mission is simple: infiltrate the Obsidian Spire, bypass the impenetrable ice magic of the Winter King, and cut his throat to free the continent from his tyrannical grasp.

Caelum Draven is a monster by necessity. A bastard usurper who stole the throne to prevent a massacre, he plays the ruthless tyrant to keep his fractured court in line. But beneath the heavy black steel of his armor, Caelum is hiding a catastrophic secret. He is slowly freezing himself to death, cannibalizing his own elemental core to power the dying magical wards that keep his kingdom from being swallowed by the lethal blizzards of the north.

When Lyra's assassination attempt goes disastrously wrong, an ancient, volatile blood magic is triggered, tethering their lives together. If his heart stops, hers does too.

Forced into an impossible, agonizing proximity, Lyra is trapped at the side of the man she was sworn to kill. But as the ice around the Winter Prince begins to thaw, Lyra discovers the terrifying truth: the tyrant she was sent to execute is the only one holding the dark at bay, and the savior who forged her is the true monster marching an army to their gates.

With the Winter Solstice looming and the wards on the brink of collapse, Lyra must make a choice. Fulfill her lifelong conditioning and let the realm fall into ruin, or stand beside the Winter King and turn her blades against the master who created her.

To survive the storm, she will have to surrender her heart to the ice.

The Winter King's Assassin is an epic, high-stakes romantic fantasy packed with deadly magic, court intrigue, and a swoon-worthy, slow-burn romance that will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros, and Jennifer L. Armentrout.
