Toxic Ties

After her brother is assassinated by a blade bearing the mark of a rival family, heiress Isolde Vaskara is handed over by a two-hundred-year-old Pact as a “peace hostage” to Kael Draven, the Shadow Lord—and the man the entire capital believes ordered her brother’s murder. Forced to live under the same roof as her sworn enemy, Isolde must confront the truth: the man she vowed to destroy may be the only one standing between their two families and a war that could wipe them both out. And the desire she feels whenever she is near him may be more dangerous than any blade in Ravenhold.
