Alien Devil’s Crown

He feels nothing. She’s spent six years waiting to burn it all down. And the only way to end the war is to trust each other.
Rylos has been the leader so long he’s forgotten how to be anything else. The Architect. The one who plans every job, carries every life, and wants nothing for himself. He’s watched all five of his Vinduthi brothers find their mates and told himself a leader can’t afford the distraction.

Then she walks out of the enemy’s inner circle with everything he needs to end the war.
Lika is sharp, lethal, and patient. A Conclave strategist who spent six years undercover, building her case, waiting for a weapon capable of destroying the people who murdered her brother and erased his name. Rylos is that weapon. She doesn’t need him to trust her. She just needs him to use what she’s brought him.

But cracking the most fortified target in the galaxy means weeks shoulder to shoulder. Two control freaks who think the same way, argue like a blade fight, and cannot stop circling each other. He doesn’t do distractions. She doesn’t do trust. And the closer they get to the vault buried beneath the enemy’s throne, the harder it gets to remember why he’s supposed to keep his distance.

One last key. One impossible heist. The full crew assembled for the fight six books in the making. And the one woman who can crack open the coldest male in the galaxy.
