The Emperor's Enemy

Zora Ravenal, a Knight Mage known as the Bear of the North, is her people's best hope against an expanding empire. Emperor Aleksander, a royal mage, wants to possess her and crush the rebellion, and he has the empire's deadliest assassin, Tarantula, to help him do it. His mistake is that Zora is hunting them too. The first book of the Unsurvivable Love Duet is a dark enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance.
