Isa has spent her entire life serving the Veiled Brotherhood, and the last thing she wants is to fail her mission as an elite assassin. Trained to be silent, swift, and unseen, failure isn't just disgrace––it's punishable. Only now, death hovers in the air as she secretly searches for her parents behind King Elion's back.
But when she's sent to eliminate her newest target, she comes face-to-face with Alec, a Fae male who remembers everything she's lost, unraveling a past that was stolen from her.
Now, Isa begins to have more questions about the Fae who evaded death by her blade, a past she can't remember, and the strange auburn birthmark in her hair.
As secrets of her stolen past continue to unravel, Isa is thrust into a world of her own growing magic, royal bloodlines, and a love she never expected to find in a Fae who refuses to let her go.
To survive, Isa must embrace the power she was never meant to have, even if it costs her everything.
In The Dark will appeal to fans who love stories with a slow-burn romance, found identities, love triangles, political intrigue, and memory-twisted truths.
