Vanya Volkov is a lethal wraith in platinum—an assassin with nothing left to lose and a target painted on the back of the man she was sent to destroy. Dante Valez is the king of a crumbling empire, a man who knows every sin in the book but has never met someone as dangerous as her. They are two storms colliding in the dark, tethered by a betrayal that threatens to bury them both. As the empire burns around them, the line between vengeance and desire vanishes. When you’re both already dead, is love a salvation—or the final nail in the coffin?
