The Emperor’s Enemy

From the author of the Villains of Lore series comes a fantastical game of cat-and-mouse as a fearless Knight Mage and a deadly assassin circle each other in a contest that could define a kingdom. When the hunter is hunted, who becomes prey? She is Zora Ravenal: Knight Mage, Bear of the North, and only hope of her people against the ravenous empire. He is Aleksander the Sadistic: divinely ordained emperor and royal mage, hellbent on capturing Zora, once and for all. The Emperor will use everything and everyone in his power to possess her, even Tarantula, the deadliest assassin in the empire’s arsenal. But there is something they don’t realise. Zora is hunting them back… For each, this obsession might prove their downfall.
