Born into a legendary bloodline of assassins, Thorne has never questioned orders—until now. Tasked with eliminating the crown prince on the eve of his coronation, Thorne infiltrates a glittering masquerade ball, his blade hidden and his resolve sharp. But the prince is nothing like he expected: charming, clever, and disarmingly kind. Drawn into the prince’s magnetic orbit, Thorne begins to lose sight of where duty ends and desire begins. As their connection deepens, he uncovers a web of deception that makes him question everything—including the truth behind his mission, and the loyalty he's spent his whole life trying to prove.


The Assassin and The King is a low stakes, slow burn romantic fantasy between a prince and the assassin sent to kill him that takes place over a single night at a masquerade. It features size difference, identity reveal, considerable pining, fighting as foreplay, and a happy ending.
