This is not a love story, but it's a story of love

Five years into his afterlife, Kai has yet to earn the Devil's trust.

Forbidden from accepting mortal bargains, the new Assassin of Tarderan is trapped in Hell while his fellow Shades collect souls. Desperate to prove his worth, Kai defies his master's orders and accepts a forsaken deal: kill Amaryllis, the fae Queen of Mesmers.

The task seems simple. After all, queen or not, she's only a mortal.

Yet every attempt on her life ends in failure. Worse, each doomed encounter leaves him reeling with pain, panic, and an inexplicable longing. Drawn to the very woman he hunts through the night, Kai begins to uncover fragments of his past.

And they all lead back to her.

Bound by a celestial deal, Kai must destroy the queen before she tears apart the afterlife he has built, shadow by shadow.

Or before he chooses her over it.

Queen's Night is a standalone novella set in the world of All That Matters. It can be enjoyed on its own, but might taste better after the trilogy.
