博客來After saving the lost prince from his execution, Joss Brevyn is on the run. With a price on their heads, the deathsman and her assistant, Henrik, have only one way to clear their names: find Callan Ronen and get him home to Aselian. But while both assume that finding him would be the hard part, it’s staying alive that becomes the challenge. The road to Aselian isn’t just marked by dense forests and treacherous terrain; it’s a host to those who will do anything to catch the prince-turned-prisoner and the two who helped him escape.
One of those is Aric Kayden, the assassin who’s still reeling from the guilt of how he and Joss had last parted. With his own injuries on the mend, Aric has only one goal in mind: kill Callan in order to save himself-as well as Joss and Henrik-from the Mask. However, the journey to find the prince grows more complicated as Aric begins to realize that killing him may not be the answer to all of his problems.
Bound in a game of cat-and-mouse, both Joss and Aric must decide what’s more important: doing the right thing or saving themselves. Because Callan isn’t just a man who’s trying to get home; he’s the missing heir who holds a dark secret, one that could jeopardize them all.
