In AD 1331, warlord Vladimir Barbu seizes control of
Transylvania. But in spite of his bloody triumph, his claim
to the throne remains out of reach. The king of Hungary
opposes his rule, the Transylvanian people despise his
brutal ways, and the high priestess needed to crown him has
vanished without a trace. But Barbu hasn't come this far
only to be thwarted by a woman. He unleashes his best
hunters to track her down and bring her to him—dead
or alive.
For Xavian Ramir, killing is the only life
he has ever known. Torn from his family when he was a
child, he was trained from an early age to be an elite
assassin. But now he longs for something more, vowing to
start anew after one last job. The bounty on his target's
head is enough to set him up for good—if he can resist
the long-dead conscience that stirs to life when he meets
his beautiful mark.
Afina Lazar never wanted to
become high priestess, but the brutal murders of her
beloved mother and sister leave her no choice. Now she is
running for her life, desperate to protect the magical
amulet entrusted to her care. But when Barbu's assassin
comes for her, she realizes her only chance of stopping the
warlord's rise to power is to convince this
enigmatic—and handsome—hunter that she is more
valuable alive than dead.
Dramatic and fast-paced,
Knight Awakened is a stirring love story between two
people searching for a second chance in a magical world of
assassins, warlords, unearthly beasts, and nonstop adventure.
