    About this ebook

    "A winner—readers will come for the fantasy and stay for the romance." — Kirkus Reviews

     

    "Dark fantasy fans who enjoy romance and action will find this to be a pleasurable read." — BookLife Reviews

     

    "Satisfying to read with plenty of drama and action to entertain all kinds of audiences, All the Dark Souls proved to be the perfect weekend novel to devour." — Rabia Tanveer, Readers' Favorite

     

    The first book in a new trilogy set in the same world as The Benighted Saga.

     

    Joss Brevyn is the last heir in a long line of executioners. Although a woman, the same rules still apply: kill the condemned within three tries, or be tortured and killed. Joss has yet to miss her mark, and even though she spends her free time as a healer, the town views her only as a deathsman. So when she and her assistant, Henrik, stumble upon a beaten man on the way home, both are hesitant to reveal who they really are. The only problem is, so is he.

     

    Aric Kayden has seen better days. After failing to assassinate his last victim, he's left bleeding on the side of the road until he's found and taken in by Joss and Henrik, two seemingly innocent locals. Healing from his wounds, Aric is still haunted by the target he didn't kill, especially by those who paid him. Despite the undeniable attraction between him and Joss, Aric can't bring himself to tell the truth: that the masked figures who hired him knows where he is, and his original target is the mysterious prisoner who was recently sentenced to death. Forced to uphold the deal, Aric's only job now is to make sure the execution goes as planned and eliminate whoever intervenes.

     

    Bound by their duties, both Joss and Aric assume this next kill will be easy. But then one of them has a change of heart, sparking a chain reaction that could leave one—or both—of them dead.
