Description

Banished from the Palace of Sorrows and raised by a covert intelligence network, Aella has spent her life mastering the art of deception—until she earns her place among the elite Songbirds. When her team is sent to infiltrate a rival eastern kingdom, she must reclaim her old identity and navigate deadly bridal trials where every alliance is a risk and every secret has a price. Complicating everything is the return of her former flame, Raven, whose loyalty and lethal skill draw her in even as their forbidden bond threatens her mission and her future. Blending romantic tension with high-stakes intrigue, heist-like infiltration, and trials that test both body and conscience, this sweeping fantasy explores obedience versus freedom, the cost of love, and the power of choosing who you are when the war comes for you.
