"We are enemies by necessity, not by desire. You are my perfect torture, and I would have it no other way." Riona Nevis has been a pawn in her uncle's court all her life. The moment she was born, her future was decided for her: when she came of age, she would marry the man her uncle chose and secure her kingdom a valuable political alliance. She obeyed once, and it nearly cost her life. Now that she has escaped Beltharos' cutthroat court, she will not allow anything—or anyone—to tear her from her home again. Prince Auberon is the infamous second son of the Erdurian Emperor. He is cunning, charming, wicked, and ruthless. When the Crown Prince is invited to bid for Riona’s hand in marriage, Auberon accompanies his brother into the heart of Rivosa with two missions: secure the betrothal, and uncover a secret that could end the decades-long war between their countries. Auberon will stop at nothing to help his brother win Lady Riona’s hand. Riona will do anything to avoid an arranged marriage. But when a high-ranking courtier is found murdered, they are forced into a shaky alliance that could change both their countries for the better…or destroy them completely. Court of Vipers is the first book in a New Adult dark fantasy series set in the Born Assassin world, full of cutthroat court intrigue, morally gray heroes, and slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance.

Riona Nevis risked her life to uncover her uncle’s treacherous plots, and now, she is once again surrounded by enemies on every side. Kenter is a country of phantoms; ruled by a tyrant, controlled by a ruthless general, and condemned to starve while its overlords seize its resources. One wrong step—one hint of rebellion—and King Jericho will not hesitate to destroy everything that she and Duke Valerian have sworn to protect. Faced with impossible odds and a country close to crumbling, she must find a way to defy the monsters in Kenter’s court…without losing her head. Caelan, the spy who finally ended the Empire’s thirty-year war, should have everything he ever wanted: a title, estates, and riches beyond imagination. Perhaps it would be enough, if he hadn’t fallen for the one woman he could never have. The one woman who had made him question his loyalty to his country. Now in the heart of the Erdurian Empire, he vows to forsake his weak, traitorous heart and dedicate himself fully to his Emperor’s service. He will forget her. He will prove his loyalty. He will become the weapon his Empire needs, even if doing so means watching the woman he loves march to war. Rise of Rebels is the second book in a New Adult dark fantasy series set in the Born Assassin world, full of cutthroat court intrigue, morally gray heroes, and slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance.
