Jericho Morgan has been on a killing spree since his parents died and he assumed their throne. Blessed by the Saints with prophetic visions that reveal what his next course of action should be as King, Jericho can glimpse into lives of people he’s never met, convict them of their sins, and then eliminate them for good. Needless to say, the last thing he expects to see in one of his visions is a girl from the marshes beckoning him to come find her. Venus Deragon has been struggling to keep her and her sisters afloat since one of the king’s dreams sentenced their father to death. So when the King’s Guard—and Jericho himself—comes to take her away, Venus figures she’s doomed. She’s surprised, however, to soon be welcomed into Broadcove Castle by kind people and offered steady work on the king’s land. Once she’s confident in her survival, Venus knows exactly what to spend her time plotting revenge. While she’s no assassin, Venus prepares to go to whatever lengths necessary to kill Jericho, including forming an unlikely alliance with him to gain his trust. But the more time they spend together despite their mutual hatred, the more Venus and Jericho begin to realize that they may be divinely connected. Because Venus is beginning to inherit Jericho’s dreams—and Jericho is slowly starting to wonder if Venus is meant to be his dream come true.

Some secrets are better left buried. For twenty years, an ominous dream turned doomsday prophecy has haunted Broadcove Castle, and when all eyes are on the king and queen to ensure their safety, everything turns on its head when Princess Pandora Deragon is stolen in the night by a mysterious, masked stranger. Now stranded on an unknown Isle and held for ransom, Pandora discovers that her ultimate fate lies in the hands of Kit Andromeda, a Mosacian man whose estate she’s now held in and whose hatred for Venus and Jericho runs alarmingly deep. Pandora never adopted her aunt's and uncle’s knack for violence, but to stay alive, she’ll have to dig deep into her alternative arsenal. Each hour of her survival is dependent on how well she can stay out of Kit’s way and not cause problems. But after years of longing for a romantic connection, Pandora begins to wonder if stirring up affections for Mr. Andromeda might ensure her safety once and for all. It’s a seamless plan. Except for the fact that Pandora’s enigmatic captor—the night vigilante who insists that he has no plans to harm her—is planting roots in her heart. He’s been waiting in the wings a long time for his chance at Pandora, and his alluring gift of music draws the two closer and closer each night they spend together in secret. But there’s one thing that snares her soul towards his more than anything else. He knows every dark truth about her family, and he’s willing to give them to her…if she’ll only give herself over to him.
