Relics of Arcana
She was forged for loyalty. He was born for ruin.
Haven Vesper had always been certain of two things: the insurgency is Naxa’s greatest threat, and there is no situation that cannot benefit from a little sarcasm. As the Umbral—the empire’s most revered assassin—she has never questioned her purpose. Until Naxa turns on her.
Now a fugitive of the empire she once served, she soon realizes the insurgency might have just what she needs to reclaim her former life: Nael Junde Majhoul.
Her redemption for his capture.
To save herself, Haven must hunt down the most wanted criminal in the empire and drag him back to the capital, alive…or dead. But Majhoul is no ordinary outlaw. His sole purpose is the empire’s destruction, and the Umbral could be a mighty prize for his cause–if he can get his hands on her.
