Alexander Hale Riotan was the privileged, eldest, son of a Duke. With a loving family, never ending female attention, and a cemented future. He had everything a man could ask for.

Until the day his brother disappeared. Leaving his family broken. 

Now seven years later, his sister's getting married, and he has to come back home.  Except the lies and deceit that he ran from have piled up.

Lea Ambriz was girl who didn't belong in the world she lived in;  She spent her whole life with her feet off the ground until she crashed into someone else's. Except she knows that falling for Alex is an adventure that doesn't have a happy ending. 

 This is a story about a boy and a girl, a group of master assassins, a few criminal lords, judgmental girls in dresses, Pirates, an angry German with a Scythe.

And the lie that connects them all.
