What if Cinderella had been sent to kill the prince?
Kayden never thought of herself as the Belle of the ball, much less that she would be unexpectedly thrust into the royal palace, surrounded by society darlings - all vying for the Prince's attention. But Kayden's intentions are far from innocent, as she has a mission to complete - to get close to the Prince... and kill him.
As she enters the palace under a false identity, Kayden must navigate the treacherous world of royalty and high society, all while hiding her true intentions. She may appear to be just another princess, but beneath the façade lies a cold-blooded killer waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
Meanwhile, Prince Dvarius is not prepared to take the crown just yet. He never wanted to rule, but due to his father's sudden death and an ancient law, he must find a bride before he can take his rightful place on the throne. And the one woman who catches his eye just might be the very same one who is plotting to end his life.
As Kayden and Dvarius' paths intersect, the tension between them grows, and they must navigate their conflicting desires and the deadly secrets they hold. Will Kayden carry out her mission, or will she succumb to the allure of the Prince? And will Dvarius be able to uncover the truth before it's too late?
For fans of The Selection and Throne of Glass this thrilling tale of love, betrayal, and royal intrigue will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. Buy now and discover the dangerous world of A Reluctant Assassin in this unique Cinderella retelling.
