Revenge is a double-sided blade in Blade of Honey, the tantalizing romantic fantasy from #1 New York Times-bestselling author Hafsah Faizal.

What if a girl's only chance at her target's throat comes at the risk of losing her heart?

Yasmine Ra'ad has a vendetta against the most powerful man in Arawiya: the king himself. His throne was built upon the bones of her family, and though she's never wielded a blade, she dreams of the day she can end his life. That day arrives with an invitation, for the king is in need of a wife.

Altair al-Badawi will die by the next full moon - unless he takes a bride. And if he chooses her from one of the houses of old, the rest will riot, so when his captain of the guard proposes a competition in which anyone might try her hand at becoming queen, he agrees.

Yasmine knows she must play the part of a doting suitor if she wishes to enact her revenge. She does it well. Too well. Altair knows he must marry even when he wishes for nothing less. But as the hourglass empties, will they find a love worth living - or dying - for?
