Scarlett Monrhoe and her two sisters were raised and trained by a ruthless Assassin Lord to torture and kill, becoming a feared trio across the continent. After a tragic night leaves her confined in a noble's household, Scarlett is offered a job whose reward would be the revenge she has long sought against the Fae Fire Prince responsible for her mother's death. When children begin disappearing from her home, she sets aside her plans to find them, aided by old friends, a former lover, and a mysterious newcomer who claims Fae magic can exist in mortal lands. Her search draws her into hidden secrets and a darkness that reaches beyond her own kingdom.
