Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

An assassin in the palace. A prince in her path. A choice that changes everything.Fallan has spent her life preparing for one mission: kill the Tavarian Emperor. Disguised as a concubine, her deadly skills are hidden behind graceful bows and stolen smiles. But survival in the imperial palace means more than navigating court politics-it means using her waterborne magic to outwit rival concubines and earn the Queen Mother's approval.When a night of espionage turns to chaos, Fallan saves the life of Emeric, the Emperor's estranged son, by killing his would-be assassin-his own brother. Mistakenly believing Emeric orchestrated his death, the Emperor rewards him with an extraordinary gift: Fallan herself.As she grows closer to Emeric, Fallan finds herself drawn to his strength and kindness, a dangerous vulnerability that threatens to unravel her mission. With her heart torn between revenge and love, she faces an impossible choice: fulfill her destiny and doom the man she loves, or abandon her people and risk the wrath of an empire.In a world of betrayal, power, and forbidden desire, the line between duty and passion blurs. And for Fallan, one wrong step could cost her everything.
