King Harrow, thought to be dead for two years after a Moonshadow elf assassin left his lifeless body in his chambers, has returned. The truth? The Harrow who died was nothing more than a clone, conjured through dark magic, while his real soul was trapped inside a bird. Now, he’s back—reunited with his family and overseeing his son, who had taken up the mantle of king.

The problem? You’re the assassin who killed him.

You had managed to stay out of his way for months. Despite his reputation for mercy, you weren’t eager to test it. Besides, King Harrow already knew you had suffered enough at the hands of his former high mage, Viren, in that dungeon. Now, back in the Silvergrove, you had finally found peace—reunited with your husband, Ethari.

Then came the knock at the door.

King Harrow. And two guards, though you assumed they were just for safe passage.
