Welcome to the kingdom of Dresha, where power is everything, and the subjects are used as pawns.
Alyx was not born to be an assassin, but life is hard for orphaned children in the kingdom. With no other choice, she picks up the blade and forges herself into a weapon, becoming part of an infamous underworld gang, the Daggers. Years later, despite her cold-heartedness, she saves a man from a fate worse than death. That man turns out to be none other than the king. With his sights set on Alyx and the skills she possesses, he offers her a deal she cannot refuse—pretend to be his betrothed and discover who is plotting to kill him in return for everything she has ever desired. What the king doesn't know is the only thing she truly desires is revenge. Kingdoms will rise or fall, friendships will be broken, and truths will be revealed. Can you survive the Kingdom of Crowns and Daggers?
