The Raven Blood Series

She was taught one thing: Mercy doesn't belong to those who beg for it.

Micah Connery is a raven blood- at least, she was before she was banished for her crimes and stripped of her blood magic. Believed to be dead by everyone she cares for, all she wants now is to stop hiding. But safety is a rare commodity, especially when the price for that safety is leaving everyone you love behind.

When Micah is offered a way out of her banishment, with her magic returned as payment, she accepts. The deal made with a blood oath to her former fiancé is simple.

Kill the Underhands.

An elite group of assassins and spies with special talents for violence that protect the King of Sicea. They hide in plain sight by integrating into nobility through marriage or impersonating a family to be close to their employer.

Though impossible to find without knowing what you're looking for, Micah hides a secret; she used to be one of them.

If she fails her task, the lives of her friends and family will be the price she must pay.

For fans of The Cruel Prince, The 100, and A Court of Thorns and Roses.

Tropes include enemies-to-lovers, high-stakes relationships, hidden identities, forced proximity, slow-burn romance, and only one bed.
