BOOK #4

Start with Obliteration. As one of the Seven Jewels of London, Cleodora de Beaumont has spent her life as a prized courtesan under the control of a ruthless bishop, her beauty traded to keep her opium-addicted father alive. But when she dares to run, she collides with the one man she should never want-a knight sworn to protect the king. Aidric St. John of the Guard of Six-Henry III's most elite protectors-lives by duty, honor, and absolute loyalty. Hiding Cleo is treason. Wanting her is worse because she belongs to a dangerous man... and she carries a secret that could destroy them both. As desire turns deadly and loyalties are tested, Cleo must decide-remain a pawn... or risk everything for the knight who would burn the world to set her free.
