About this listen
In Golnix, the City of the Rising Phoenix, power is everything—and love is a death sentence.
Violet Payne has spent years crafting the perfect facade, serving as a publicist and informant for House Sunsong, one of the five ruling noble families of Stelladir. But when she becomes a threat to the very House she serves, her life is marked for elimination.
Ryland Sunsong is an assassin, a weapon forged in blood and loyalty. Tasked with silencing Violet before she can betray them, he expects the kill to be swift and emotionless. Instead, he finds himself drawn to the woman he’s meant to destroy—torn between duty and an undeniable, dangerous desire.
As political tensions rise and shadows close in, Ryland and Violet must decide whether to fight for their survival together or succumb to the cruel fate that binds them. In a city where secrets are currency and love is a weakness, defying the will of House Sunsong may cost them more than just their lives.
A dark fantasy romance filled with betrayal, intrigue, and slow-burning passion. Perfect for fans of high-stakes political games, morally gray characters, and deadly romance.
