About this audiobook
Tragedy forged her, but love tempered her steely heart. There aren't many choices for a child arrested and charged with murder. When a mysterious stranger asks an imprisoned Ilyana to be his apprentice, she accepts. Fast forward a few decades and she's an expert in her field, an assassin for hire with special skills, and an uncanny affinity for weapons. Her newest bounty requires her to eliminate the Barbarian King, only for the first time in her career, she hesitates. Turns out she and the monarch from the west might have a common enemy in the Grand Vizier, a highly placed official for a rival country. He's the one behind the bounty on Konstantin's head, and the person responsible for the death of Ilyana's parents. Rather than kill the King, she finds herself working for him. Together, they form a plan for revenge. What they don't expect is the ensuing tempest of secrets. A betrayal and a capture might spell the end for the Barbarian and the Assassin unless they're willing to fight not only for survival-but love. Contains mature themes.

I am obsessed with this new world, these new characters, and this new series!!! This story took me there and I was experiencing everything with the characters. There is a tonne of action in this story, lots of underlying stories and motives, and it take place in a fantasy world ripe with inherent dangers. Our main characters are confident, strong, able, and quick to act, but that doesn’t make them invulnerable. They hold their feelings close, not revealing much to anyone, but when they let them loose, they carry all the force as everything else they do. This is a true power couple and, after all the machination, manipulations, and maneuvers, once they commit to each other, their love cannot be defeated or held back!
