An alliance between enemies. A weapon of untold power. And a bond that could rewrite fate.

Welcome to the kingdom of secrecy, betrayal and no mercy.

Ivy Pomeroy should be untouchable. Blessed with the power of illusion, she has many tricks up her sleeve, yet none are a match for the enchanted necklace at her throat that keeps her bound as an assassin to a ruthless king. Forced to play the role of obedient pet, she plots in secret to destroy him and break free of his hold.

But when a mysterious Reaper sets his sights on the same weapon Ivy needs, the enemies collide in a reluctant alliance brimming with undeniable attraction. As their search uncovers whispers of a dark power that threatens the entire kingdom, will their dangerous new connection lead them to triumph . . . Or will the secrets they both harbour doom them all?

Nothing on the Isle of Illusion is ever what it seems, and with Ivy's freedom slipping further from her grasp, she must always remember: though she may wear a collar, she is not the pet they tamed.

She is the beast they let inside.

And she will show no mercy.
