The Spade

I am going to make the King of Lovelen beg me to love him— and then I’ll put a bullet between his eyes.

The night my family died was the day that I buried Emersyn Spade. The day I made my vow of revenge. Now everything about me is a lie, from my name to the color of my eyes. I may appear as an angel of love, but I will bring about only death. As I fall deeper into the Knights of Lovelen’s vicious and cruel world the ghosts buried within my past begin to creep through, threatening to expose me to their leader. But how long can my secrets stay concealed when the King of Lovelen looks at me as though I’m his favorite prey?

The King

Deadly and beautiful— just how I like them.

My world has always revolved around three things: pain, death, and loyalty. As the King of Lovelen, Leader of Knights, I must uphold these standards above all. Nothing else has ever mattered. That was until my younger sister dragged a pretty, little stray right through my front door. She was the storm that could upend everything I hold dear, with that haunting symbol wrapped around her throat. But yet, I find my every thought is consumed by that devastatingly beautiful kitten. The only question is— will she be my antidote? Or the venom that brings me to my knees?
