As a guardian of the world’s last free city, Cinder has one goal: vengeance against the memory eaters. The creatures are inside the city’s walls, masquerading as humans...except no human can drain a person’s memories. No mere human could have reduced her beloved brother to the vacant shell he’s become. Cinder dreams of revenge, until one night, she rescues a gorgeous stranger from the memory eaters’ clutches. Years of captivity have left him feral and tortured, but he’s resisted the hollowed-out fate of other victims. When he swears he can help recover her brother’s soul, Cinder is determined to do anything. Together, they delve into the city’s dark, glittering underbelly, searching for her brother's lost memories. But the stranger is harboring secrets, and as Cinder yields to the sparks igniting between them, she realizes he may not be who—or what—she believed. Now, torn between love and hate, Cinder uncovers the truth about saving her brother. But the price may mean sacrificing the vengeance she craves...and a future she never expected to want. The Assassin's Song begins a dark romantasy trilogy, perfect for fans of One Dark Window, slow burns, and sword-carrying women who fall in love with the men they shouldn't.
Author
Shaylin Gandhi first fell in love with love stories at the age of ten, when she started stealing grown-up books off her mother’s bookshelf. By twelve, she’d perfected the art of reading under the covers by flashlight, and in high school, she attempted her first novel. She now writes from the mountains of Golden, Colorado, where she lives with her husband, identical twin daughters, and two scruffy rescue dogs. When not finagling words onto paper, Shaylin can be found hiking, biking, scheming up ways to add another stamp to her passport, or ingesting enough coffee to power a small city.
