Realm of Ash (The Iron King's Assassin Book 1)

Description

In a world of shadows, trust can be deadly.

After a brutal encounter with a black-magic witch, rebellious monster hunter Ava Ashe finds herself ambushed by the merciless fae mafia. When the enigmatic Second-in-command of the Shadow Court suggests she’s just the anonymous assassin they’ve been searching for to take out the powerful Iron King, she’s pretty sure it’s because he doesn’t care if she lives through it.

She might be a snarky loner who can’t even get her sister to take her calls, but she is good at one thing: hunting evil. And she isn’t about to ruin that one worthy quality by harming the innocent. She’ll die before she makes that mistake again.

All that changes when he delivers his ultimatum: kill the king or watch her sister perish. Faced with this devil’s bargain, she accepts, fully aware that her estranged sister may never discover her sacrifice.

But being thrust into a world of magic and forced to achieve the impossible without understanding the rules will take all her wit and instinct to survive.

A task that grows much harder when, amidst the chaos, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to a darkly brooding fae who suggests there might be more than one way to get close to a king.

And she realizes it’s not just her head at risk . . .
