Wings or Tails - Hardcover

by Larisa Blackledge (Author)

Zily has her assignment: kill the prince. Her first task? Getting into the palace. Zily is a Kitsune and will stand out in a kingdom dominated by the winged Corvum, but she's an assassin. She can sneak in. Her second, and much more difficult task? Not letting herself fall for the prince's sky blue eyes before she can complete her mission.

Ever the optimist, Sylas doesn't worry too much about becoming king one day, dreaming of the future. When he brings home a dying Kitsune, everyone suspects she's there to kill him, but he's never been as willing to die at an assassin's hand. It's hard to believe a girl who smiles so bright, eyes full of stars is as deadly as some of the plants she adores.

Standing on the edge of what is and what could be, Zily must choose between returning to the life she craves escape from or staying with Sylas. Each path will result in dire consequences. If the rumors are true, she may not have a choice after all.

Perhaps it would have been easier if Sylas had never rescued her.
