"She was asking to be killed."

Ksenia is executed for forging illegal blades—one of which costs her soul. To reclaim it, she strikes a blood pact with a vengeful goddess and is resurrected in a new body with a rage-driven mission: infiltrate the castle and destroy the man who stole her soul.

The first step? Win the king's deadly trials to become his next spymaster. She's assigned to work with Bohdan, the bastard prince and captain of the royal guard, to expose and address any threats to the crown before the enemy can find them. And lately, there's been a serial killer tearing through the kingdom.

The problem? She IS the killer. And the king is her next target.

Can Bohdan stop her? Let him try. She kind of likes it.

Hellbound is the first book in this dark romantasy duology of resurrection and revenge, where two people standing on opposite sides of the same blade have a way of drawing blood--and something far more dangerous.
