First in a duology, this darkly thrilling page-turner set in the world
of the best-selling His Fair Assassin series is perfect for fans of
THRONE OF GLASS, RED QUEEN, and GAME OF THRONES. Told in alternating
perspectives, when Sybella discovers there is another trained assassin
from St. Mortain's convent deep undercover in the French court, she must
use every skill in her arsenal to navigate the deadly royal politics and
find her sister in arms before her time--and that of the newly crowned
queen--runs out.
When Sybella accompanies the Duchess to France, she expects trouble, but
she isn't expecting a deadly trap. Surrounded by enemies both known and
unknown, Sybella searches for the undercover assassins from the convent
of St. Mortain who were placed in the French court years ago.
Genevieve has been undercover for so many years, she no longer knows who
she is or what she's supposed to be fighting for. When she discovers a
hidden prisoner who may be of importance, she takes matters into her own
hands.
As these two worlds collide, the fate of the Duchess, Brittany, and
everything Sybella and Genevieve have come to love hangs in the balance.
