Betrothed to the Emperor

Trained as an assassin, Airón expects to escort his sister to marry the Emperor in order to maintain the precarious peace between their respective governments—and then to kill him to keep the Empire in chaos and prevent renewed assaults on their homeland. But the Emperor when they arrive is a different person than the Emperor when they left home, and the new one chooses Airón as his intended consort instead and sends his sister home. Now Airón has to seduce the Emperor and then kill him, but he’s a lot hotter and more ambiguous than Airón expected. Also there is magic.

I’m never one to be excited to read “popular” books. But this was not what I expected, and I enjoyed it more than I expected. Fun to the last page!

Oh yes - another great fantasy series for me to indulge :) The ending was perfect and I can't wait for the next book in the series.
