Paulo MacGregor is a liar. As Marquess of Delphine and the only oracular mage in the kingdom, it’s his job to report any threat that may grow within Olympia’s borders. But he didn’t. He knows about The Cartographer. He knows about the rebels and what they’re planning. He knows it all and he does nothing. If he did, Laurel Flumen would have never come to assassinate Prince Dion. And if she had never come, he’d never have the chance to change her fate.
Laurel Flumen, a Daughter of Eritrea and one of the continent’s most skilled assassins, is about to complete the greatest mission she's ever been given. If she can assassinate Olympia’s Crown Prince, she will bring glory to her name and can leave the order she and her sister have been bound to their whole lives. However, it seems everywhere she goes, Lord Paulo MacGregor is waiting around the corner. If the man keeps her from completing her mission, the mission will be given to another and she will lose the one chance to finally escape her past.
Paulo and Laurel may be on opposite sides of the war, but if they can’t overcome their differences, there will be more than just Laurel’s future at risk. The future of Olympia itself is in both their hands.
