Perfect for you if...

You love enemies-to-lovers romance where the tension is earned over hundreds of pages and both characters have genuine reasons to distrust each other.
You're drawn to fantasy worlds with real political stakes, where a single person's choice can destabilise an entire empire.
You want a female lead who's ruthless and capable but still vulnerable enough to surprise herself when she starts to care.

Maybe not for you if...

You need a romance that moves fast. This is slow-burn in the truest sense, so if you want the relationship cemented by chapter five, you'll be frustrated.
You prefer standalone novels. This is book one of a series and ends on a cliffhanger that demands you pick up the sequel.
You're looking for a morally straightforward hero. The love interest here exists in moral grey areas, and the heroine questions everything she thought she wanted.

About this book

After her family is killed in a rebellion, a woman accepts an offer to pose as the prince's betrothed. Her mission is to discover how to kill an immortal emperor, but she has her own agenda: she wants the emperor, the prince, and the enforcer all dead. Inside the palace, secrets abound and multiple people are engaged in games of deception and survival. As she moves closer to her goal, she finds herself drawn to one of the men she has sworn to kill. She becomes uncertain whether she can go through with harming him, while he could kill her if he learns her true identity. As events unfold, she discovers she has more to lose than she thought. Faced with the possibility of losing her last source of hope, she must decide how far she will go in her quest for revenge against the empire. Silk & Iron is the first book in the Vow of Death series, featuring a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance with court intrigue, betrayal, and deception.
