Princess Assassin Gray Monroe is ordered by her father to kill the villainous prince responsible for starting a war that threw the world into a post-apocalyptic society. In a decrepit landscape where two magical species war with one another, while a human militia hunts them all, Gray has only one thing on her mind: vengeance.
With a single focus on killing the man who murdered her first love, she believes nothing will stop her. That is until she hesitates when she comes face-to-face with her nemesis at long last.

When a sinister plot is revealed to assassinate the princess, she must flee into a world where she’s now the hunted and fight to survive to get the revenge she’s owed.
Prince Griffin Silas is on a mission of his own: to kill the king. The problem is he’s suffering from an affliction that robs him of his sanity while making him crave violence and death. But first, he needs the princess in his hands, no matter the cost. In a race against his spiraling affliction, who will achieve their goal first?
