The next thrilling book in Jennifer Estep's New York Times and USA
Today best-selling Elemental Assassin series.
Keep your friends close but your enemies within stabbing distance.
One important lesson I've learned in the assassination business is that
to be the best, you have to roll with the punches. Now that I'm queen of
Ashland's underworld - by default, not by choice - a lot more punches
are being thrown my way. But I suppose that's the price of victory for
taking down some of the underworld's top dogs. Good thing I have my Ice
and Stone magic to help me survive my volatile new position. Just when I
think things are finally settling down, someone tries to murder me
during a hush-hush underworld meeting. But the real surprise is how
strangely familiar my shadowy assailant seems to be.
My job is to maintain order among killers, crooks, and thieves, and soon
I'm embroiled in a bloody game where the ability to keep secrets could
be the greatest superpower of all. My enemies have all sharpened their
knives and laid their traps, waiting for me to fall. But this Spider
weaves her own webs of death.
