Silk & Iron

Alexis Calder

The emperor. The prince. The enforcer. I want them all dead. Until I fall for one of them.

After losing my family while fighting against the emperor, I lost hope. When my ex-boyfriend begs me to pose as the prince’s betrothed, I know it’s an opportunity the rebellion won’t ever get again.

I was sent with the goal of finding out how to kill an immortal emperor, but I don’t want to wait on someone else for revenge. I want the emperor, the prince, and the enforcer dead.

But the palace is full of secrets. And I’m not the only one playing a game of life and death; lies and betrayals.

The closer I get to my goal, the closer I get to one of the men I vowed to kill.

I’m not sure I can bring myself to harm him, but there’s nothing stopping him from killing me as soon as he finds out who I really am.

I’m playing with fire and I want this whole empire to burn.

But nothing is as it seems.

Just when I thought I have nothing left to lose, I find out just how much I have to live for.

And when faced with losing the only hope I have left, I must decide how far I’m willing to go to watch this empire burn.

Silk & Iron is a slow burn, spicy enemies-to-lovers romantasy full of court intrigue, betrayal, and deception. Mind the cliff.
