Some betrayals come from blood. Some salvations wear a killer's face.
At 23, Abelia Kingston was supposed to inherit power, not survive a murder plot. But when her own brother tries to kill her for the family throne, she’s left broken—physically and emotionally. Her savior? Neil Nemo—her best friend, a cold-blooded assassin who was originally hired to end her life.
After Cain Kingston breaks his promise, Nemo turns against him and rescues Abelia from the brink of death. Now, with a shattered spine but a fire burning stronger than ever, Abelia joins forces with the one man she shouldn’t trust. Together, they plan revenge—but emotions blur lines, and desire begins to cloud judgment.
As old enemies rise, hidden heirs return, and blood relatives reveal darker motives, Abelia must face the most brutal truth of all:
In this world, the people who save you can also destroy you.
Will she take back her legacy… or lose herself in the process?
