Beast Charmer

My heart wasn't part of the deal when I bargained for my life, But assassins so rarely keep their word. Exiled Charmer Leena Edenfrell is running out of time. Empty pockets forced her to sell her beloved magical beasts, an offense punishable by death, and now there's a price on her head. With the realm's most talented murderer-for-hire nipping at her heels, Leena makes Noc an offer he can't refuse: powerful mythical creatures in exchange for her life. Plagued by a curse that kills everyone he loves, Noc agrees to Leena's terms in hopes of finding a cure. Never mind that the dark magic binding the assassin's oath will eventually force him to choose between Leena's continued survival...and his own. In a game of trust and half-lies, only one thing can be certain: traps capture more than beasts and ensnared hearts are impossible to untangle.

Fantastic Beasts meets Assassin's Creed in this epic, gripping fantasy from up-and-coming author Maxym M. Martineau Noc Feyreigner, leader of the assassins of Cruor, is living on borrowed time. If he fails to kill Leena Edenfrell-the girl he can't live without-his own life will be at stake. With the dark magic of Curor's Oath testing his control, Noc has to fight with everything he is to keep his friends and family safe. Leena would do anything to help Noc overcome the oath. So when she hears of a beast rumored to have the power needed to save Noc's life, she embarks on a quest to the frozen north. But what starts as a hunt for a magical beast quickly turns Leena, Noc, and their trusted band of assassins into prey…and time is running out.
