eBook. Book #1 in the Daindreth's Assassin series.
Born to be a sorceress. Cursed to be an assassin. Chosen to be his empress.
Magic has two immutable rules—every spell requires a sacrifice and every curse can be broken.
Amira Brindonu is a sorceress turned assassin, bound in a curse that forces her to obey her father, even to the point of high treason. When he orders her to kill the future emperor, she fails, but discovers a secret that could bring the whole of the empire to its knees.
The archduke is stricken by a curse that could sentence him and his people to damnation, but Amira could be the only key to breaking it. In a desperate last-ditch effort, the archduke takes Amira prisoner and makes a pact to protect her from her curse if she will help free him of his own.
As time begins to run out, Amira soon learns that there are enemies that blades can’t touch and there are fates worse than death. Caught in a web of sorcery, intrigue, and her growing feelings for the archduke, the assassin must decide just how much she is willing to give to save the only man she’s ever loved.
Every curse can be broken, but can two cursed people save each other?

![Look, it's fine if you want to read casually. Reading as a fun hobby is 100% awesome.
HOWEVER, if you want to start slinging around the "[insert book title] is just a knock off of [insert most popular book in the same genre]" you sure as heck better have a solid grasp of tropes, genre expectations, and genre history.
Way too often, people assume that the first place they read something is where that thing originated from. Reality is that writers (like all artists), consciously or not, are drawing from an existing literary canon that goes back decades, centuries, or, in some cases, millennia.
George R. R. Martin did not invent child loss (as one commentor on my YouTube seemed to think). Nor did he invent eastern and western continents (as another commentor on YouTube seemed to think).
Frank Herbert did not invent the "women with power scary" trope, nor did he invent the Doomed Chosen One (aka Jesus) or the "noble savage" trope. I have a lot of issues with Robert Jordan and The Wheel of Time, but no, he did not "rip off" Dune.
(While we're at it, no, Sarah J. Maas did not invent fairy courts or shadow daddies.)
It's fine to not be an expert. Perfectly fine!
But if you want to start making accusations, you better have done your research.](https://shopifycdn.orichi.info/api/proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fscontent-sin2-1.cdninstagram.com%2Fv%2Ft39.30808-6%2F464494950_1352396802701127_2761710389465819631_n.jpg%3F_nc_cat%3D100%26ccb%3D1-7%26_nc_sid%3D18de74%26_nc_ohc%3Di98nbOJcciYQ7kNvgH29S0A%26_nc_zt%3D23%26_nc_ht%3Dscontent-sin2-1.cdninstagram.com%26edm%3DANo9K5cEAAAA%26_nc_gid%3DAkkmF83JkfUq-wutyjB5Lnl%26oh%3D00_AYCEYcF84nAdB3ZI1EANp83-weWYvMk04Wg1Uzhm7ohjAg%26oe%3D675684F2)

🎙️We continue our interview series with Anglo-Saxon/Viking experts with Annie Whitehead! ✒️Annie is an author of Historical Non-Fiction AND Historical Fiction who specializes in "Lighting Up the Dark Ages" of Pre-Conquest England. 📖She has an upcoming book about weregild, murder, and the justice system in Anglo-Saxon times, which I DEFINITELY want to touch on, but she has researched extensively about women in Anglo-Saxon England and that's what I'd mainly like to discuss with her! 🌹Anglo-Saxon women had notably more legal rights and agency than most of their contemporaries in the Early Medieval period, certainly more than the average Viking woman. 👑While the world they lived in was decidedly patriarchal, many Anglo-Saxon women wielded immense power as queens, queen mothers, regents, abesses, and landholders. 🐺TEARS OF THE WOLF, my upcoming Fantasy Romance releasing this February, is deeply inspired by Anglo-Saxon history, particularly with regard to these powerful women. 👉What questions do YOU have for Annie?
