Amaya Li

Kal is an assassin hired covertly by a tyrannical king to take the life of an artist accused of spreading propaganda against his reign. But as Kal pursues his prey, he finds both her and her art distractingly provocative. As his resolve is tested, his would-be victim, Sasha, develops strange feelings for the presence she senses following her like a phantom. Before Kal can fulfill his duty, the two of them become mutually entangled, drawn to each others' purposes.
A feverish and strange love blossoms between them as they head toward the inevitable consequences of choosing each other. Killing the Artist is a dark, erotic fairy tale about love, desire, and the value of art.
