Deadly Little Pawn

In Daringhood, pawns aren't meant to survive the game. Especially when you're the princess of The Daring Brotherhood.

Amirah never wanted to be part of her brother's war. She has her own mission-saving women who've been taken from their families, refusing to let another girl vanish. But the moment she's stolen from her home and locked inside an abandoned theme park, her fight isn't for others anymore. It's for herself.

Her captor? Bear. Brutal. Unhinged. Obsessed. He swears she belongs to him but in the darkness, obsession can look a lot like devotion.

Her jailer's ally? Kai. This vengeful, haunted man sees her as a bargaining chip for redemption, even as every glance from her threatens to unravel his resolve. He's torn between protecting his own and protecting her.

Then there's Zion. He's loyal to no one but his blood. Amirah is a liability-and now she knows his deepest secret. Yet when she puts herself at risk to save someone he loves, lines blur, and the pawn becomes a playing piece he just can't ignore.

War between the Brotherhood and Daringhood is erupting, and Amirah is caught at its center.

She refuses to break. She refuses to kneel. But in a world where pawns are sacrificed first, every choice could be her last.

And in the end, even princesses bleed.

This is the first book in The Daring Sisterhood duet and part of The Daring Brotherhood interconnected series. Recommended to read Deadly Little Games and Deadly Little Hearts first but not a deal breaker.
