Xeneria has a reputation as a great assassin. She even has a name; the Daughter of Shadows. The criminal job broker needs someone killed, and he won't take no for an answer. Used to having her way, she is about to turn down the job when a series of strange visual effects distract her. Xeneria finds that she no longer has a choice. She must kill, or be killed herself.
Loathoadan Hellblight is a local legend and Xeneria doesn't know why someone wants him dead. Coerced into killing Loath or dying herself, she steps into a world of magic and intrigue, only to find the consequences are so much bigger than she could have ever imagined. Because the biggest threat to the fae is demons, and Loathoadan is the only half-angel around.
Working together, can they save the floating city of Iaenalis against an invasion none of them saw coming?
And is it possible to fall in love with the person you're supposed to kill?
