Raven
Sold to the Empress as a gift, I expected cruelty.
I didn't expect her to freeze the moment our eyes met — like winter itself had struck her.
"You will do," the Empress said. "The rest of you may stop pretending to breathe."
She bought me as a pet. She has no idea I was trained since childhood to kill her.
She also has no idea why I keep forgetting to hate her.
Seraphine rules a fantasy empire where everyone is a knife — and she is the sharpest of them. I am the assassin hidden in her court, disguised as her newest pet: serving her wine, pouring the poison away, and forgetting, a little more each day, why I was sent to her.
A GL dark romance of palace intrigue and slow-burn heat — a possessive, dominant Empress who never asks for anything, and the one person in her empire who was trained to destroy her.
Until the night she asks her pet to come back.
The Empress does not share. Unfortunately for us both — neither do I.
