Promise: A Prequel Novella

For fans of stabby heroines and revenge quests, a prequel novella driven by danger, destiny, and sisterly affection.Unlike her sister Piper, who fantasized about Serrana's elegance while growing up in the forest, Natalya never saw romance in the city's stone walls. Their views on the life of a courtesan were similarly divided-Piper knew it was her destiny to attain such a distinguished role, while Natalya preferred the pursuit of other accomplishments, particularly those that could be earned at the end of a magical dagger. Rising through the ranks of Serrana's most dangerous thieves' guild rather than those of society, she's gained a reputation throughout Serrana. Merchants and sailors alike fear the sneaking, moonlit shadow of "the Blade." But when Piper's Suzerain faces financial ruin, threatening Piper's freedom, Natalya will stop at nothing to rescue her sister from the back-stabbing nobles of Serrana's court. After all, rescuing sisters is precisely what blades are for. It will take all of Natalya's cunning, her friendships, and the magical destiny she's denied to free Piper from her plight. And even that may not be enough. Dive into the twisted wiles of Serrana's competing powers, rescue those you love, and swear your revenge in this prequel dark fantasy novella for the Heir of Lilith series.
