Thorns of the Crimson Lily by JS Herod

Once the most feared assassin in Breyonne, Lysa Renaud was betrayed, left for dead, and stripped of everything. Now, she awakens in a snowbound manor under the watchful eye of Rian Al’Duer, a brooding noble with his own dangerous agenda. She doesn’t trust him. She doesn’t trust anyone.

With war brewing and a shadowy mastermind pulling the strings, Lysa is thrust into a deadly game of deception, where every move could mean the difference between survival and death. Forced to rely on Rian, she must untangle a conspiracy that threatens three kingdoms—before it consumes them both.

The Crimson Lily is gone, but in her place, something far more dangerous has risen. And this time, she’s not just fighting to survive—she’s fighting to win.
