About this book

In the Eternal City, the throne belongs to the Witches, and dissent is met with the cold steel of the Queen’s Blades. These four elite assassins are the realm’s most feared enforcers, maintaining a brutal hierarchy where Witches reign supreme. Among them is Fey, a Water Witch whose affinity for violence sets her apart from her healing-inclined kin. She is a lethal weapon in a city governed by divine edicts and absolute terror, serving a crown that demands total obedience.

This dark romance pulls you into a high-stakes world of shadows and political intrigue. When a member of her sisterhood is murdered, Fey’s unwavering loyalty to the throne begins to fracture. As she hunts for the truth, she discovers that the secrets buried by the monarchy are far deadlier than the enemies she usually executes. Trust becomes a luxury she cannot afford as the lines between duty and betrayal blur.

Perfect for fans of paranormal romance, this story masterfully blends visceral action with simmering tension. It is a gritty, seductive journey through a world of shifters, demons, and powerful magic. If you are looking for a pulse-pounding escape filled with sharp edges and forbidden desire, this is your next obsession.

Some good, some predictable, some awful

March 6, 2025

Starting with the good: I found the world interesting. The political environment did make me think there should have been a lot more push back from the population but the world was fairly thought out and consistent. The erotic scenes and magic were well written. The predictable: Well I was kind of expecting two thirds of the main storyline. Be it the queen, her consort, Fey’s, Alistair’s or Fey’s sisters -only Willow’s storyline was a surprise. The bad: The spelling and grammar was REALLY bad!...
