Aithlin ~ Rosemarked Assassin: A Dark Epic Fantasy Thriller (The Last Guardian)

To save the realm, the king must die.
Sent away as a child for her own safety, Princess Aithlin was raised in a temple of warrior priests, far from the king's reach. Within its grim walls, she was trained in the art of war, the use of magic, and how to deliver justice upon the wicked.
Preparing to deal death from the shadows, the princess finds herself out of her element. Backstabbing companions and unlikely allies make it difficult to tell friend from foe. Her survival will depend on figuring out who she can trust.
With the fate of her younger brother and the future of the kingdom at stake, Aithlin's path is fraught with peril and personal demons. As she embarks upon this righteous mission, a lingering question haunts her—will her quest save her homeland, or will it lead to her own undoing?
The answer lies in a tale of magic, courage, and a battle against impossible odds.
