For readers who loved Wishtress, Throne of Glass, and Encanto.
Get swept away into swoony romance, a Latin-inspired world, and a supernatural adventure.

Seventeen-year-old assassin Cottia is desperate to leave behind the work she’s been forced into.

Her lord offers freedom in exchange for one last hit. The assignment is to start a war by killing a target during the Giddelian prince’s betrothal selection ceremony.

When the prince uncovers her identity, he offers her a new opportunity. Will his invitation grant her freedom from the notorious underlord?
“Fans of no-spice romance with a dash of darker themes will love this book about an assassin changed by the unlikely friendship of a prince who can see beyond a person's past. The banter, the one-horse moments, and the Latin vibes will keep you turning pages late into the night.”

- C. F. E. Black, author of The Starlit Prince

*RUTHLESS is a clean YA fantasy with no spice romance and Christian allegorical elements.
