Betrothed to the Emperor - Paperback

by Kai Butler (Author)

I was born to kill the emperor, but first, I must marry him.

I trained as an assassin while my twin sister trained to be the empress. My life will be forfeit once I murder the most powerful man on the continent, but I have no choice. If I fail, the Imperium will consume our nation and anyone who rises against them.

Too soon, we walk into the glittering imperial court, each step taking us closer to the dangerous man on the black throne, my sister's future husband, the newly crowned Emperor of the Southern Imperium. Emperor Tallu has more spies than fish in the sea. He poisoned his own father to secure the golden crown.

When his sharp eyes skim over us, they don't catch on my sister. They land on me, his killer.

"I choose you, Prince Airón of the Northern Kingdom. You will be my consort." Tallu's smile is mirthless. "Or I will reduce your entire nation to ashes."
