Just thinking about it makes my head ache. Will she even survive to initiation, let alone have her revenge? But a killer is loose within the Church’s halls, the bloody secrets of Mia’s past return to haunt her, and a plot to bring down the entire congregation is unfolding in the shadows she so loves.

But her gift for speaking with the shadows leads her to the door of a retired killer, and a future she never imagined. Alone and friendless, she hides in a city built from the bones of a dead god, hunted by the Senate and her father’s former comrades.

In a land where three suns almost never set, a fledgling killer joins a school of assassins, seeking vengeance against the powers who destroyed her family.ĭaughter of an executed traitor, Mia Corvere is barely able to escape her father’s failed rebellion with her life.
