Daughter of Sin

In Nefari, Saint Severo makes powerful people's problems disappear. The vampire fixer has built her life around loyalty and control, including the decision to exile the woman she loved fifty years ago. Now the city's rulers have been murdered, and fae assassin Marlowe Reign has returned as the apparent culprit. Saint needs answers; Marlowe seems determined to accept execution. Their confrontation revives a desire neither has escaped, while the unanswered questions point toward a threat larger than either woman. This dark prequel to Empire of Ruin places a second chance at love inside a brutal struggle over power, secrecy and the price of protecting someone against their will.
