Arden Icaros is from the poorest of five noble bloodlines, she prefers life on the family farm with dirt under her nails over the fine dresses at court. While she and her family are summonded to visit the King and at a ceremony, everything seems to go sideways. Arden is blamed for something. And Bishop comes to her rescue and states he will protect her. When they leave the kingdom 3 assasins have made their way into the castle to kill Arden. She can't figure out why they want to harm her. Is it because of the marking on her chest? Is she the Harbinger that the stars have fortold about? 

Bishop Marius has dedicated his life to his order. Empowered to execute first and question later, Bishop is ruthless, terrifying, and utterly loyal to the kingdom that wants Arden dead. His is protecting her in his kingdom/house. Bishop is keeping things from Arden. She finds a library is his house but the books are in the old language which she can't read. Bishop has been keeping something from the Order/the Kingdom, he has an 'army' they just happen to be children who have no where else to go. They are mostly orphans that live together, he gives them an education and also trains them to become knights when they are older. He is using his own  family money while his own house is going into disrepair. The Order/Kingdom know he is keeping something from them, but, a training center for orphans probably isn't one they were thinking. Bishop wouldn’t just tell Arden the information she wanted. he told her she had to “earn” answers which of course frustrated Arden to pieces.

I did receive a free ARC Copy of this book from NetGalley and Entangled Publishing. I am freely leaving a honest book review.

  Book Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lila Ferrante, grew up with everyone thinking she had the mind of a 5 year old. Her mother told everyone she was simple minded. Lila grew up as the baby of the family, her older brothers didn’t really spend time with her as she only played with the dolls her mother allowed her to play with. Lila and her mother would go away every summer where she would be tutored in languages, art, history, and she could just be herself on their summer get aways. Lila is deaf but not dumb in the slightest. Lila has been sheltered by everyone in the family and she is now 18 but still doesn’t have a clue about the outside world other than the little bit she been able to explore.  Tiernan Callaghan ‘Deathless’, is very dark and mysterious. He doesn’t allow anyone in. He has a twin sister  Tierney  who shares his dark past with him. His other family members don’t share the pain with what he and Tierney went through.  Tiernan has killed so many for his family ...

  Book Rating:    We meet most of the same characters from Book 1, Bad Bishop. I recommend reading book 1, Bad Bishop as the characters, history are explained. Book 2, picks up where Bad Bishop leaves off.      Book Tropes:  Enemies to Lovers, Second Chance, Morally grey hero,  Obsessed , Stalker, Slow Burn.  Tierney Callaghan & Achilles  met when they were teenagers and they were mostly together dating in secret through their high school days.
