“Beauty and the Beast” meets the Russian fairy-tale, “The Lute Player.” After a raid on the family inn forces Anya Solovyova to flee her homeland, she finds herself in need of a new job. A friend secures a position for Anya as the housekeeper for an Arriborn noble, which sounds like a perfect opportunity. Her new employer, Dmitriy Vetrov, gives her free rein over the matters of his house, with only a few rules: don’t go into his study, and don’t go into the west bedroom. Unfortunately Anya has a habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time… As she uncovers the truth about Dmitriy and his bloodstained past, Anya must challenge herself to face a silencer—the same type of trained killer that slaughtered her sister—and see him as more than a sword. And when a vengeful Nobility Council places Dmitriy under arrest, is Anya able (and willing) to stand up for him?
