Start with Spiders Bite. How did I end up in a career where I
always have blood on my hands? Well, let me tell you a story
about an assassin who thought she could do no wrong. Ten
years ago. A blistering hot August night. I remember like it was
yesterday. The night I, Gin Blanco, truly became the Spider. Killing
people is what I do best, especially now that I've honed my Ice and
Stone magic. But back then, I had yet to learn one very important rule:
arrogance will get you, every single time. This particular job seemed
simple: murder a crooked building contractor with ties to ruthless Fire
elemental Mab Monroe. My mentor, Fletcher Lane, had some
misgivings, but I was certain that I had the situation under control . . .
right up until I exposed my weaknesses to a merciless opponent who
exploited every single one of them. There's a reason assassins aren't
supposed to feel anything. Luckily, a knife to the heart can fix that
problem, especially when I'm the one wielding it.

Princess Stefanie is the least amenable to law and order,
which is why she's appalled to find herself masquerading as

But her disguise turns out to have its privileges: the
opportunity to consort unchaperoned with her employer's
handsome nephew, the Marquess of Hatherfield.
Hatherfield quickly realizes that his uncle's new clerk is, in fact, a lovely
young woman of daring habits. The marquis isn't about to reveal her
deception. After all, he's hiding a dangerous secret of his own. But
when one too many escapades with the princess bring Hatherfield's
troubled past to light, it is only Stefanie's sharp wits that stand between
the marquis and disaster.
