First published 2011
Caillen Dagan survives by his wits on the brutal streets of the Ichidaian universe. The soldier of fortune has made a career of dodging both death and the law. When one moment of unexpected heroism exposes his true parentage, Caillen finds himself thrust into a world of deadly politics and obscene wealth. The royal bloodline he never knew existed makes him a target. Desideria works as the queen's bodyguard, fighting every day to prove she deserves her position despite her questionable birth. She carries her weapons with fierce determination, having won her role through combat. When she discovers a conspiracy to murder the queen and topple the government, Desideria becomes a target herself. Both now marked for death by assassination contracts, Caillen and Desideria must join forces against their enemies. The League's assassins hunt them across the galaxy while conspirators move to seize control of their governments. If they cannot learn to trust each other and fight as one, an unimaginable evil will claim power over their worlds.
