An Assassin and a Blade.
A human and a Drexian.
High-born and working class.
Will choosing each other be our ruin?

The cocky, high-born cadet is everything I despise and nothing I need. So why did I agree to his deal?

Because it wasn’t a deal, it was blackmail. The arrogant Drexian gave me the choice—throw my friends under the bus or tutor him. Easy choice, even if I suspect he wants more from me than my brains.

Just as I’m getting accustomed to the ancient alien academy and what it means to be a member of the School of Strategy—also called the Assassins—I’m forced to secretly coach a Blade after hours. And I know better than to go back on our deal. You don’t cross the Blades.

But when our lessons take a steamy turn, can I keep my head in the game—and my heart out of it? After all, a hot, brawny warrior like him wouldn’t fall for a brainiac like me, would he?

Then again, maybe he’s the one who should be worried about his heart. You know what they say. Beware of the Assassins.

Loyalty is the second book in Tana Stone’s Warriors of the Drexian Academy series, contains an HEA, and will leave you wanting more cunning Assassins, badass Blades, brilliant Irons, and daring Wings.
