The allure of roses is undeniable, but beneath their delicate beauty lies a deadly truth: they have thorns, and they will kill.
Princess Belyx Velena is far from an ordinary princess. At night, she trades in her tiara for blades as a secret assassin for The Order of the Rose, an all-female organization founded by her great-grandmother to rid the kingdom of tyranny and violence. With her mother gone after being murdered by the now extinct Fae, the kingdom is at risk from four powerful gangs locked in a deadly struggle for the throne.
When her father's key to the hidden Fae artifacts is stolen, Belyx embarks on a perilous journey to retrieve it, only to rescue a sarcastic thief named Enzo. He becomes an unexpected ally and more than just a partnership brews between them. With danger at every corner, the race to the key becomes far more deadly, and trusting others will be the true key to Belyx's survival.
For years, Belyx's grief remained hidden behind her assassin mask. As the line between her two personas starts to blur, she must confront her inner demons and trust her growing feelings for the thief in order to save the kingdom from an even greater threat than she could have ever imagined.
