The Assassin Bride - Anastasis Blythe

\nThe Selection meets Throne of Glass in this dark and twisted tale of a deadly bridal competition for the hand of a mysterious shadow king.\n \n \n\n \nIt is said that the Neverseen King comes for a bride every hundred years. I thought it was only legend . . . until he came for me.\n \n \n\n \nI am one of twelve assassins forced to compete for the hand of our unseen king, who I'm beginning to doubt is even human at all.\n \nWhy he needs a bride, much less one who wields a blade, isn't any of my business. All I'm trying to do is get out of here with my life and my heart intact. I don't want to care about the mysteries I begin uncovering about the king, about why he never shows his face, about his palace that turns into a nightmare after dusk. I'm just trying to escape. But apparently, my choice is to win this competition or die.\n \n \n\n \nI'm not dying.\n \n \n\n \nAnd I'm definitely not falling in love with the Neverseen King.\n \n \n\n \nThe Assassin Bride is the first in series fantasy romance of an assassin and her Neverseen King, perfect for fans of The Serpent and the Wings of Night, Sylvia Mercedes, and Elise Kova who love dark, swoon-worthy heroes and a sweet (not steamy) slow-burn romance.\n
