There lives an assassin in a far away kingdom called Astodia. She works under the strong reign of King Sadim, taking down an organization called the Rebel Army leader by leader, cutting down their roots to make sure her kingdom stays safe. But what happens when the one closest to her is poisoned by one of the rebels—a spy that lives in the castle right under her nose? Will she be able to sacrifice the ones she loves most, or will she make a decision in time that could save one life but destroy many more? Will Adalia the Assassin be able to stay true to her title, or will she be defeated by only thing that can take her down forever: her own heart?

In the second installment of Assassin, Adalia is back and stronger than ever. With bounty hunters on her tail, Adalia fights in the Rings, laying low and earning just enough to keep herself alive. Meanwhile, tensions are skyrocketing between the four kingdoms, each prepared to wage war against the other. Adalia is reunited with old friends in places she’d least expect. Love is the last thing on her mind—even though she finds herself running into it at every turn. A perilous voyage awaits her, and Adalia is faced with obstacles that will test her strength, hope, and leadership. Just when it seems like things can’t get any worse, hidden secrets and forgotten pasts are brought to light—ones that can either reunite the kingdoms once and for all, or tear them apart for eternity. A war is brewing, and once again, Adalia is standing right in the eye of the storm.

In this final spine-chilling chapter of Assassin, war is on the horizon. Mistrust shatters whatever peace was left amongst the four kingdoms. Back in Astodia, Adalia feverishly struggles to keep things steady, balancing the hysteria of villages being set ablaze while dealing with an injury that threatens to destroy her hard-earned reputation. As the light at the end of the tunnel seems to darken, Queen Lorelle presents Adalia with her very own a girl with the spirit of a phoenix rising from the ashes. She is skilled and brave, but not nearly as experienced as Adalia. To make matters worse, rumors circulate that a monster, one which only ever lived in the pages of children's storybooks—the weapon of an ancient king—has risen. As alliances amongst the kingdoms crumble, it seems as if only Adalia has the power to return peace or let it slip through the cracks of a crumbling empire forever. Will Adalia be able to uncover the secrets of the ancient king in time, or will she finally lose everyone she ever came to love?
