The Spy's Vow (The Ever-Night Saga #1)

A kingdom that has never seen daylight. A bride sent to kill its lord. A knife she was raised to use.

Lira Voss is the Veiled Hand’s finest operative, raised from a stolen child into a weapon. Her mission is simple: enter the sunless Ever-Night Blood Kingdom as the tribute bride "Lady Serel," find the new lord’s weakness, and put a knife in his heart.

Kael has ruled the blood court for a century and trusts no one. He keeps his kingdom by refusing his own hunger, and he watches the human bride the way he watches everything else: as a problem to be solved.

But the court is a hall of teeth, and every faction wants something from the lord’s human bride - her blood, her silence, or her death.

Between the countess’s traps, the old blood’s knives, and the order she carries folded in her sleeve, Lira finds the one thing her training never prepared her for: an enemy whose weakness she cannot bring herself to name.

Book One of The Ever-Night Saga: a slow-burn romantasy of enemies to lovers, court intrigue, and a vow sworn on a hall floor before nine houses.
