Readers’ Favorite Starred Review
Valeria’s secret investigation to find her mother’s murderer pulls her into an alliance with Alias Black, the most infamous hitman in the kingdom.
“To be eternally trapped in a dream or to never be able to dream at all. I wonder which would be more miserable.”
Valeria Anson has always been one in a set, she and her twin brother sharing everything from clothing and toys to their mother’s womb. However, there is one thing they don’t share—the haunting memory of their mother’s death, an image that sears Valeria’s mind every night.
Nearly a decade has passed since the tragedy, and despite their father’s role as Viscount and Chief of the King’s Imperial Force, the masked culprit remains free, roaming the snowy streets of Nieve.
While her father and brother have abandoned the pursuit of justice, Valeria refuses to let the case rest. Her secret investigation leads her to Alias Black, the most infamous hitman in the kingdom. Working with him violates her morals, but he may be her only hope of finding the monster who plagues her dreams.
Lying to her family by day and working with Alias Black by night, Valeria walks the line between right and wrong, justice and revenge, dreams and reality. Together, the unlikely pair slowly crack the case, unraveling a truth they never could have imagined—not even in their darkest nightmares.
