A ruthless assassin. A wisecracking sorceress. A perilous journey that will reshape the Kingdom.

Driven by money and hatred, Jessara is the greatest of the King’s royal assassins. An autistic elf born in the forests of Anwood, Jessara was trained from childhood to become the perfect weapon against the Compact of the elves. When it comes to a special capture or kill contract, she’s the obvious choice when the King needs a delicate touch.

Her target: a mysterious fugitive human sorceress named Asha Weaver. A specialist in fire magic, Asha narrowly manages to escape execution in the capital city of the Kingdom. Her impulsive and reckless nature prove to be a challenge when a series of misadventures forces the assassin and the sorceress to work together.

Loyalties will be questioned as the reluctant partners battle monsters, hide secrets, overcome betrayal, and face the inconvenient feelings growing between them.

LOVE IT. Jessara is perfection

I don't think i can properly say how much this book means to me. It gets all my recommendations!

The neurospicy rep is on point. Jessara's autistic traits were lovingly cared for, and Asha made her feel safe in herself.

I was expecting a slow burn, but honestly I'm so glad we got them together rather early on, because watching them care for eachother was just so wholesome.

And the narration was wonderful. All the accents were great and helped distinguish characters without being too over the top. And the comedic timing was fantastic! I was so excited when this got the audio because I'd been wanting to read it, but struggle with written reading. This delivered.

15 out of 5, do yourself a favor and grab this title. Looking forward to book two!
