The Uncrowned Prince

Kiss him or kill him?

After years of living a double life as a wastrel and a cad, Prince Vaniell has walked away from his position and privilege with only two goals in mind—to save the Five Thrones, and to build a world where mages can live in peace. His greatest enemy in this endeavor? A power hungry king, whose dreams of empire march ever closer to fruition.
Melger. The ruler of Garimore. Also known as Father.

To accomplish his goals, Vaniell must travel far beyond the borders of of his own lands to the coastal kingdom of Iria, where he hopes to find clues to the identity of the man who holds Garimore in his sway. What he finds is a tantalizingly beautiful mystery, one he can neither dismiss nor ignore.

All Karreya knows is the harsh, unforgiving existence of a royal assassin—the long, brutal arm of Imperial law. Nearly all her memories are of a walled enclave, and the training grounds she's called home for much of her life. But they trained her better than they knew, and now she is free, with only one mission in mind—to find the father who abandoned her for a new life in Abreia.

Lost in an unfamiliar world, she collides—literally—with the most beautiful, most infuriating man she has ever met. She ought to just kill him, but the secrets he’s keeping are too intriguing to ignore. His magic calls to hers, and somewhere beneath his razor-edged charm is a heart as guarded as her own.

He might be her enemy… or he might be the one person who can remind Karreya that she is more than just a weapon.
