Let the Crown Burn - Paperback

by Sloane Kestrel (Author)

"There was no greater sorrow than to be betrayed by the one you loved, for in that betrayal, you lost more than trust; you lost yourself."

In the kingdom of Anruin, vengeance is the only thing that's ever belonged to Faella Osiris. After the crown burns her family to death, the assassin dedicates her life to destroying the royal bloodline. Her mission is simple: kill the king, dismantle his empire, and never let herself forget who stole everything from her. Then, she meets the prince.

Bound to a father whose cruelty has made him haunted by the kind of man he refuses to become, Ronan Anatole dreams of a kingdom free from tyranny. As rebellion ignites across the kingdom and ancient magic long buried begins to awaken, their lives become intertwined. What begins as a reluctant alliance soon deepens into something neither of them can afford.

She's the assassin sworn to end his bloodline. He's the heir to the throne she longs to see destroyed. They should've never fallen in love, but in stolen moments, they become each other's greatest weakness and only hope. With the kingdom on the brink of collapse, they must choose between love and vengeance, between duty and desire. As some promises can only be paid in blood, not every love story can have a happy ending.
