    About this audiobook

    She’s searching for redemption. What she finds is her destiny.


    Disappear into this tumultuous tale of revenge and redemption, as two fated souls are thrust into each other’s paths once more.


    Rhiain enjoys a charmed life as the daughter of one of the most powerful men in the realm. Spoiled and vain, she has never met a need or want she couldn’t attain. The dark spots in her memory have been tucked away, with all other unpleasant things.


    Then a terrible mistake brings her entire world crashing down around her. Her life shifts in an instant; her fate, uncertain. Her father’s punishment for her is forcing her to train for a life as one of his prized assassins.


    But a chance encounter in a familiar tavern will change everything.


    Everything she knows.


    Everything she feels.


    Everything she is.


    As Rhiain gets closer to handsome, enigmatic Asterin— a man she doesn’t remember but claims to possess the truth about her dark spots—she begins to accept there is much more to these gaps in her understanding of the past.


    Because these memories were taken from her for a reason. And there are those who will do anything to stop her from remembering.

      The plot was engaging and it has a nice reclaiming of power and agency theme. Morning nuanced than many similar books. Not heavy on the smut or romance to overwhelm the plot.
