Dagger and the Daisy

Daisy Snow has spent her life surviving kingdoms built for men like Zarek Veyn. Feared across the realm as the king's deadliest assassin, Zarek is a blade wrapped in shadow, blood, and whispered legend. He does not hesitate. He does not forgive. And he certainly does not fail. Zarek Veyn has killed for kings without regret. Then he meets Daisy Snow. The girl who looks at him like he is still human beneath the blood on his hands. So when he is sent to this quiet young woman tied to a dangerous secret, he expects another mission. Not obsession. Not the way her softness unsettles him.Not the way her courage follows him into darkness. And certainly not the way she begins to feel like the only good thing left in a kingdom rotting from the inside out. As war closes in and betrayal spreads through the court, Zarek is forced to choose between the orders that made him and the woman who makes him wish he were something more than a weapon. Because loving Daisy Snow may destroy him. Unfortunately for everyone involved, Zarek would rather destroy the world than lose her.
