“It’s always entertaining to watch a wild flame burn out.”

Wren Emerson’s human life is cut short by a brutal murder.

But instead of being greeted by death, she is pulled from the abyss by the handsome August. He tells her that because she felt more rage than fear at the moment of her death, she is being offered a second chance.

To accept, she would need to shed her humanity and train under him for a year, becoming an elven Assassin to serve the High Court.

Her targets? Humans.

As she works to please the strict High Court, suspicions arise about what she’s actually helping them accomplish. All the while, struggling with complex relationships and a new, dangerous power inside of her—one that could mean her death sentence.

Will her troubled and rebellious heart from her first life turn her into a monster in her second? Or rather, a force to be reckoned with?


What Readers Are Saying…

“This writer transported me to a land I never want to leave! The sheer BRILLIANCE of this storyline leaves the reader in AWE of her imagination, creativity, and spellbinding weave of fantasy with reality! I CANNOT wait for the continuation of this journey! Thank you RSKYE for taking me with you!”

“This book has a really unique take on the classic high fantasy story. We follow a young woman who's brought back from the dead to become an assassin for the High Court. R. Skye's ability to describe a scene really sucks you in and brings you into the beautiful Elven Realm. From the cozy cottage to the The Golden Glass club, it really feels like you are transported there. A slow-burn romance and some mystery surrounding the High Court add a lot of depth to the story, and I was hooked from the start. She left us with a nice little twist and I can't wait for the next book to come out!! ‘Follow the darkness.’”

“This book reminded me how incredible reading can be! What an amazing world to explore and characters to fall in love with! I felt as though I stepped into the cozy cottage and was having tea with these characters and fighting alongside them. This is an amazing start to what will surely be an incredible series!”


“To me, a great author possess a rare alchemy—an ability to transport readers beyond the confines of reality, inviting them to question, dream, and reimagine the world around them.”
