Fates collide and passions ignite in New York Times bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer's steamy adult fantasy debut about three characters torn between chasing, betraying, and craving each other: a princess caught between duty and desire, the fearsome warrior king she's promised to, and the assassin tasked with hunting them down.

WARRIOR. King Maddox Kyronan's fire magic has earned him a ruthless reputation on the battlefield, but now his land is slowly burning. Ky's only chance to save his people is to enter a marriage alliance with the neighboring nation of Astranza, and hope that their royal family's power to manipulate the weather will help his kingdom flourish once more. He just needs to ensure no one finds out how this blaze began.

PRINCESS. With enemies advancing on Astranza, Princess Jory's home needs the protection of the fearsome warrior king, but she is hiding a dangerous secret: her family's magic is fading. Tempting as it is to reject her duties and run away with her childhood friend, Asher, Jory knows that she is the kingdom's last hope. When she meets her intended, Jory is surprised to discover that beneath Ky's daunting exterior is a compassionate and sharp-witted man who sets her heart aflame. But what will he do when he realizes she's deceiving him?

ASSASSIN. Asher's done what he must to survive, even if that means getting his hands dirty. Once a young nobleman in Astranza's palace, where he and Jory caused mischief together, now he's part of the Hunter's Guild, employing much darker skills. When a lucrative job comes his way, Asher can't say no--until he discovers the targets. Someone wants Jory and Ky dead. With the Guild watching, Asher must decide what he's willing to do to protect the woman he loves and the maddening king who keeps getting under his skin.

Warrior Princess Assassin marks the beginning of a thrilling new fantasy trilogy filled with enchantment, adventure, and passionate romance.
