The Fae King's Assassin by Alisha Klapheke
Kill the Fae king or die.

Raised to cut throats, hunt Unseelie monsters, and ride dragons, Berserker-blooded Revna is the best of the best. But she has been assigned the impossible. Her king demands that she kill the ruthless Fae king.

With no other options, Revna must glamour herself and hide among the Fae king’s bevy of potential mates. But all of her training will be useless if she can’t figure out how to feign love.

Lysanael never wanted to be king of the Fae. Partially because politics disgust him, but mostly because the king must beget an heir. Because of a terrifying secret, he refuses to risk mating and fights to conceal his dark past.

A feigned courtship may be the only way through for both of them, but will their ruse save them or will the plan only tangle their hearts in unimaginable ways?

Set in an epic fantasy world, The Fae King’s Assassin is a dual POV, enemies-to-lovers, fake dating/marriage of convenience fantasy romance perfect for fans of Holly Black’s The Cruel Prince, Kerri Maniscalco’s Kingdom of the Wicked, and Elise Kova’s A Deal with the Elf King. If you like tension-filled banter, vicious heroines, and deliciously dangerous Fae, you’ll love this standalone with an HEA.

*Note: This standalone is upper YA/NA and contains mature situations and adult language. The romance is slow burn but builds to moderate steam.
