There’s a reason the assassin always wins in the end. Why her family always dies. He’s smarter than she is, whoever he is. A mongoose to her cobra. And it doesn’t matter how hard she fights, how desperately she bites. In the end, he’ll eat her up.
". . . fast-paced action, witty dialogue, and the fiercest heroine you could ask for . . ."
Zarina Nefertari is the last descendant of the ancient queens: a line of nobility hunted for generations by assassins for a crime of passion they did not commit. The laughing gods were cruel like that.
Even worse, she’s cursed to forever have her handsome protector by her side but to never be loved by him--that is until a hapless Imperialist Brit shows up and challenges a lifetime of duty and bonds. Fed up with her curse and eager to make her own choices, Zarina follows clues across Aegyptus in a desperate attempt to choose her own fate.
That is if the angry gods will let her . . .
