Una sombra en las brasas

Seraphena Mierel's future has never been hers. Chosen before birth to fulfill her ancestor's desperate bargain to save her people, Sera must leave her life behind and offer herself to the Ancient of Death as her consort. However, her true destiny is the best kept secret in all of Lasania. Because, in reality, she is not the sheltered Maiden that everyone believes, but an assassin with a mission: to make the Ancient of Death fall in love with her, to become her weakness, and then... finish him. If she fails, she will doom her kingdom to a slow death at the hands of the Rot. Sera has always known what she is she. CHOSEN. CONSORT. MURDERESS. WEAPON. Until the unexpected words and actions of the Ancient of Death drive away the darkness that was accumulating inside her. And her seductive caresses ignite a passion she's never allowed herself to feel. But Sera has never had a choice.
