The Dagger’s Kiss. Romantasy, #6

Lyra Veyra, the infamous Shadow of Blood, has never failed a contract-until the day she is sent to kill Kael Draven, a warlord whose name alone can topple kingdoms. Precision and stealth are her weapons, but when her dagger meets his chest, it's not his life that hangs in the balance-it's her heart. Kael is as cunning as he is dangerous, a man who commands armies and bends loyalty with fear. Yet in Lyra's hands, he finds himself vulnerable to a different kind of threat: desire.
Captured by the woman meant to be his executioner, he is drawn into a game where every glance, every touch, and every whispered word could be a trap-or a temptation he cannot resist. As secrets unravel and hidden agendas collide, Lyra must navigate a deadly web of betrayal while grappling with feelings she has long suppressed. Kael, who has never bowed to anyone, discovers that the most lethal weapon may not be steel-but the passion that burns between them.
From shadowed alleys to opulent halls, from whispered threats to heart-stopping confrontations, The Dagger's Kiss is a romantic thriller where love is both a risk and a weapon. In a world where trust can mean death, can desire survive, or will every heartbeat become the last?
