A meeting with the king was supposed to fix the trouble Thea’s family left behind.Instead, she witnessed his death.

As the one person granted entry to the throne room, she’s now implicated in his murder. The assassin who killed him can help her escape the gallows… for a price.

In return for his aid, Gil asks for nothing but these illusions. But as they flee under the guise of being newlyweds, Thea realizes the motives behind his actions may be darker than anything she ever imagined, and two problems come to light: No matter how dangerous the truth is, she’s not afraid of him… and she might be falling in love.
