Realm of Ash: The Iron King's Assassin Book 1 In a world of shadows, trust can be deadly. Ava Ashe, a rebellious monster hunter, finds herself ambushed by the merciless Fae mafia after a brutal encounter with a black magic witch. When the enigmatic Second-in-command of the Shadow Court suggests she's just the anonymous assassin they've been searching for to take out the powerful Iron King, she's pretty sure it's because he doesn't care if she lives through it. She might be a snarky loner who can't even get her sister to take her calls, but she is good at one thing - hunting evil. And she isn't about to ruin that one worthy quality by harming the innocent. She'll die before she makes that mistake again. All that changes when he delivers his ultimatum: kill the king or watch her sister perish. Faced with this devil's bargain, she accepts fully aware that her estranged sister may never discover her sacrifice. Because that's what you do for family. But being thrust into a world of magic and forced to achieve the impossible without understanding the rules will take all her wit and instinct to survive.
