The enthralling adult fantasy debut from the bestselling author of the Skandar series, featuring time-travelling assassins, dark academia and forbidden romance - for fans of R.F. Kuang and Dani Francis.
At twenty-one, Artemis graduates top of her Cambridge class of assassins, the most respected discipline in the Faculty's army. As a timeless soldier, she will travel in and out of linear time, doing whatever it takes to stop the destruction of history by dangerous time vandals.
Artemis might look like she's got everything she ever wanted, but assassins must be ruthless to survive. She's made enemies, discarded lovers and has a secret that could lose her everything. Things don't get any simpler once she and her crew start to travel, for all timeless soldiers must obey four fundamental rules:
- Never betray the Faculty.
- Never let a time vandal live.
- Never fall in love with a target.
- Never die in linear time.
But Artemis meets a time vandal who has been waiting for her. And despite knowing he is devastation distilled, she breaks all the rules and lets him live. As he follows her through time and space, she becomes obsessed with two questions: why is he so determined to be everywhere she is? And why can't she bring herself to kill him?
