Guerrero, princesa, asesino

King Maddox Kyronan's incendiary magic has earned him a ruthless reputation on the battlefield, but now his land is slowly burning. Ky's only chance to save his people is to forge a marriage alliance with the neighboring nation of Astranza and trust that the royal family's power to manipulate the weather will bring prosperity back to his kingdom. With enemies closing in on Astranza, Princess Jory's homeland needs the protection of the feared warrior king. But she harbors a dangerous secret: her family's magic is fading. As tempting as it is to shirke her duties and run away with her childhood friend Asher, Jory knows she is the kingdom's last hope. When she meets her betrothed, she is shocked to discover that beneath Ky's intimidating exterior lies a compassionate and resourceful man who sets her heart ablaze. But what will the king do when he discovers Jory is deceiving him? Asher has done what he had to do to survive, even if it meant getting his hands dirty. Once a young nobleman in the palace of Astranza, where he and Jory used to get up to all sorts of mischief, Asher is now a member of the Hunters' Guild, employing far darker skills. When the opportunity arises to take on a lucrative job, he knows he can't refuse—until he discovers who the targets are. Someone wants Ky and Jory dead. With the Guild watching him, Asher must decide how far he's willing to go to protect the woman he loves.
