An assassin caught between an oath and a rival

Gisela Bloodthorn has been raised as an enslaved assassin in a Centaur court, and her chance at freedom comes with a dangerous assignment: protect an Oath Keeper whose contract is meant to hold an enemy at bay. The task becomes more complicated when she encounters Xaydin, an Outlaw and assassin working against the Oath Keepers. Their opposing missions place them in a conflict that reaches beyond either faction, while the Thirteen Kingdoms provide the setting for this fantasy-romance struggle over allegiance, survival, and the possibility of trust.

Book overview

From #1 New York Times and international bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon comes an all new world unlike anything ever seen before...

TAKE BACK YOUR KINGDOM

Gisela Bloodthorn is trained to kill. She has spent her life enslaved as an assassin in the court of the Centaurs, where only the strongest survive.

Now, the Centaur queen has a final assignment for her: protect the Oath Keeper who holds the contract that will keep their enemy at bay and kill the queen's enemies and Gisela will go free.

But when Gisela discovers her first Outlaw known as Xaydin, Gisela learns that the Outlaws aren't what they seem. Nor are they easily slain.

Xaydin isn't just a bastard half-troll, he's an assassin who has dedicated his life to ridding the Thirteen Kingdoms of the Oath Keepers, especially the one who holds the contract Gisela has been sworn to protect.

But trust doesn't come easy to either of them. If they can't find common ground and fight their real enemy, both of them will lose everything and everyone they care for.
