I was sent to slay a monster. Not fall for one.
Hunting a black-magic witch solo to prove to my monster-hunter ex that I’m not past my prime? Definitely not my brightest moment. But the instant she fell, I knew I’d done more than take down a dark caster. I’d opened a door to something far deadlier.
Now, I’m a prisoner of the Shadow Court, taken by a fae enforcer whose smirk cuts sharper than a blade, who could have been carved from stone, and whose icy eyes could set my skin ablaze if he wasn’t so busy reminding me I’m completely at his mercy.
No weapons. No backup. Just me, a human with no magic, pretending to be compliant while a deadly fae warrior insists I’m the assassin they’ve been waiting for. My target? A fae king so dangerous even the Shadow Court fears him. My choice? Kill him, or watch my sister suffer the consequences.
He thinks I’m too powerless to defy him. But Ava Ashe doesn’t take orders—not from arrogant exes, not from witches, and definitely not from smirking fae lords with a voice like dark velvet.
And as the lines between captor and savior blur with every charged glance, every stolen touch, every command that dares me to challenge him, one thing becomes terrifyingly clear.
The deadliest threat isn’t the mission—it’s him.
