In the shadows, every truth is a weapon.?

Rai was born to kill for Tartarus, the most feared assassin order ?in the world. But one mission changed everything-leaving the ?woman he loved dead, his honor in ruins, and his life traded for ?blood in the arena.?

When a stranger whispers that her death was a lie, Rai is thrust ?back into a deadly game he thought he'd escaped. Old mentors ?become hunters, rivals become uneasy allies, and a king with ?fire in his veins pulls the strings from a throne built on secrets.?

To uncover the truth, Rai must face the ghosts of his past and ?the power awakening within him. But in a world where trust is a ?death sentence and vengeance has a price, survival may ?demand more than he's willing to give.
