CROWNS OF NYAXIA 2.5 : SLAYING THE VAMPIRE CONQUEROR - Tor Books

She was commanded to kill him with a single strike to the heart. She didn’t expect her own to betray her.

A mission to kill . . .

Sylina is a trained assassin and dedicated acolyte of the Arachessen, followers of the goddess of fate. When the brutal vampire conqueror Atrius arrives on the shores of her human homeland, Sylina is tasked with her most critical mission yet: infiltrate his army, earn his trust . . . and kill him.

A connection she cannot deny . . .

Atrius is a terrifying warrior, carving an unstoppable path through the kingdom of Glaea. But when Sylina joins his ranks as his new seer, she glimpses a dark and shocking past – and a side of him that reminds her far too much of herself.

A goddess to obey . . .

Sylina’s orders are clear: Atrius cannot live. Yet Sylina is unable to deny her growing attraction to Atrius – a connection that is forbidden by her vows. A connection that could cost her everything . . .
