With shades of Game of Thrones and Romeo and Juliet, this richly imagined fantasy from debut author Sarah Ahiers is a tale of love, lies, and vengeance.

Seventeen-year-old Lea Saldana is a trained assassin. She was born into one of the nine clipper Families in the kingdom of Lovero who lawfully take lives for a price. As a member of the highest-ranking clan, loyalty to Family is valued above all, but that doesn't stop Lea from getting into a secret relationship with Val Da Via, a boy from a rival clan. Despite her better judgment, Lea has fallen in love with him; but she's confident she can anticipate any threat a mile away.

Then she awakens one night to a house full of smoke. Although she narrowly escapes, she isn't able to save her Family as their home is consumed by flames. With horror, she realises that Val and his Family are the only ones who could be responsible. Devastated over his betrayal and the loss of her clan, there's just one thing on her mind: making the Da Vias pay. The heart of this assassin craves revenge.

Review by Sarah McDuling

The Kingdom of Lovero worships a death Goddess and is ruled by nine families of dedicated assassins. Amongst those families, the most bitter rivalry exists between the Saldanas and the da Vias.

Lea Saldana and Val da Via have no business falling in love - theirs is definitely a forbidden romance. When the da Via family slaughters the Saldanas, Lea is the only one to survive and swears a bloody vengeance against her enemies. She is determined to kill every last Da Via... including Val.

Romeo and Juliet meets the Assassin’s Creed series in this compelling dark fantasy full of action, adventure, ghosts and star-crossed romance. The perfect read for fans of Nevernight and Throne of Glass.
