About this ebook

“It’s official Take a Psycho to Work Day. Why else would I be here?”


Hunted. Hated. Betrayed. Outcast Dagger Ixur is on the run for his life. As one of the most recognizable members of his royal house, he has a bounty on his head that guarantees him no quarter from any friend or even family. But surrender isn’t in him. He will fight to the bitter end. A resolve that is sorely tested when he narrowly escapes a trap that leaves him severely wounded. With what he believes is his dying breath, he saves a boy born to an extinct race from a group out to enslave the kid for his legendary abilities.


Ushara Altaan has spent her entire life hating the Andarion royal house that drove her entire species into virtual extinction. As a rare Andarion Fyreblood, she is sworn to end the existence of any royal she finds. But when Dagger saves her son’s life, she is torn between her people and a debt that can never be repaid.
Yet worse than Dagger’s family that’s still out to end hers and him, are the League assassins after him who will stop at nothing to claim the lives of her Tavali family. The only hope she has to save them all is to put their future and her faith into the hands of the very enemy whose grandmother personally extinguished Ushara’s legendary lineage. But how can she ever trust Dagger when he is a disinherited outlaw whose real name is synonymous with betrayal?

Ratings and reviews

Loved Jullien's book. I'm only a little confused on Ushara's deceased male. She spoke very highly of him, despite knowing the true deal of him. So, I guess I'm wondering what was his deal? Oh I well. Still a GREAT book!

Great book! End brings up questions like is kyrs family the family Nyk gave up his career to save and the daughter he still looks out for that works for him? Food for thought

I have to admit I thought Jullien really was a bad guy before I read this book. Just like Acheron and Styxx I was very surprised. The characters in these books go through so much. I'm always satisfied with the endings.
