Blurb:

KING. KILLER.

COWARD.

In Realm Promise, Zachiah Welstzyre has always been an outcast despite being the people's king. Haunted by the plague that killed his mother and vanquished in the rainy seclusion of his palace, he's cornered by the rampant sickness, the people trying to flee it, and an ultimatum presented by the other realms and their rulers: If he eliminates the plagues and rebellions brewing amid all seven kingdoms, they'll keep his identity as a First Heir a secret.

Harboring the First Heir power of empathy-telepathy, abilities as capable of raising a kingdom as they are of ruining it, Zachiah seeks a loophole by locating his missing father and trying to reinstate him to the throne.

Covert killer Ballad Chimesong wants to protect her family more than anything. When she's petitioned to kill the king under the threat to eliminate her sister should she refuse, she sets out with a team to end his life. Failure threatens to expose her guild and endanger her career, but as she toes the line of success, she risks something far more dangerous than her well-being: the rise of the king's secret, bastard brother.
