A sizzling romance and a breathlessly pacy plot. Magnificent!' - Saara El-Arifi'Truly seductive and sharp as a knife, SOUL SWORN is a blade beneath silk. This is the assassins-to-lovers romantasy you've been waiting for' - Tasha SuriTwo ruthless assassins. One deadly romance. Talia Atwater is a reaper, an elite assassin who uses her looks, her charms, and her rare ability to sense lies to rid clients of their sworn enemy: the person destined to kill their soulmate. For Talia, love is just another way to die. Cain Hawthorne was raised to be a weapon. Bound to a powerful religious order, he hunts rogue reapers in the name of the Gods. Duty is everything. Love is forbidden. All that matters is protecting their fated ties. So when Talia takes a job that threatens fate, Cain is sent to stop her. But in a world where every soul is marked - for love and death - the line between mission and desire begins to blur. As secrets unravel and attraction ignites, Talia and Cain are pulled into a dangerous game of seduction, secrets, and lies. And the closer they get to the truth, the clearer it becomes:They were never meant to fall in love. They were meant to destroy each other. SOUL SWORN is a dark, addictive romantasy filled with assassins, blood magic, and a sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance that will leave you breathless.
