POLITICAL ESPIONAGE AU. Vaguely fantasy-renaissance era. Feyre is an assassin (nobody say TOG) who takes out Lord Andras for an anonymous client; the job goes wrong and through she kills him, she’s caught by his superior Lord Tamlin, who agrees not to turn her in in exchange for a hit. He’s apparently already sent three assassins out on the job, all of whom failed: the target is Lord Rhysand, Tamlin’s mercurial, cutthroat political rival. But this is no shot-in-the-dark job like Feyre is used to; to get close to Rhysand, she’ll have to integrate herself into his court of associates.
Rhysand knows exactly what the awkward young woman who’s recently come into his orbit intends… and finds himself enamored with her anyway. Feyre finds herself unable to kill the kind, complicated lord, even when he provides her with plenty of opportunities to do so–but Tamlin has her sisters as collateral ensuring she finishes the job.
Masquerade balls, daring heists, and kicking Tamlin’s ass ensue.
