By Dark Deeds (Blade and Rose Book 2) by Miranda Honfleur

Now imprisoned, Rielle must get to the man she loves before the assassin pursuing him finds her mark. Immortals ravage Emaurria, and the fires of rebellion spark against the new king while shrewd royals angle for power. With her death looming at every turn and an unforgiving barren desert between her and Jon, can Rielle save him before it's too late, or will the brutal sands claim her life... and everything she loves?
