When a young sorceress is exiled to teach magic to a clan of assassins, she will find that secrets can be even deadlier than swords. Teen Vogue proclaimed, It's impossible not to fall deep into the dark yet alluring world of sorcery and secret assassins. A dangerous and eerie fantasy about murder, shocking discoveries, and fiery star-crossed romance that readers of Cinda Williams Chima and Robin LaFevers won't be able to put down.
Ileni is losing her magic. And that means she's losing everything: her position as the rising star of her people, her purpose in life, and even the young man she loves. Sent to the assassins' cave hidden deep within the mountains, she expects no one will ever hear from her again. The last two sorcerers sent died within weeks of each other. Accidents? Or something more sinister? As Ileni navigates the dangers--both natural and human--of the caves, she'll discover secrets that have been kept for decades. And she'll find an ally in Sorin, the deadly young man who could be the assassins' next leader. With Sorin determined to protect her, sparks--magical and romantic--will fly. But will even he understand the choice she must make in the end?
- Enemies to Lovers: He's a deadly assassin who greets her with a knife to the throat. She's the sorceress he's sworn to protect. The line between hate and love has never been sharper.
- Secrets and Lies: Ileni isn't the first sorceress sent to the assassins' caves, but the last two died under suspicious circumstances. Uncovering the truth might be the only way to avoid becoming the next victim.
- A Heroine Losing Her Magic: Ileni was once the rising star of her people, but now her power is abandoning her. Trapped among killers with only her wits to defend her, she must hide her greatest weakness before it gets her killed.
- Dark Fantasy World: Step into the assassins' mountain caves, a world of shadows, secrets, and a clan of killers with their own deadly code of honor.
