Description
*A promised leader. A book of tales. A love to unravel all.* Althea Trodaire was born into a world of chaos. She lives her life under a strict hierarchy that oppresses the poor and profits the wealthy. On the top of the social ladder are the Royals, who rule the kingdom with rapacious and merciless chains. Her job is to kill them. But a spy has leaked the prophecy to the Royals and Althea quickly finds herself on the edge of exposure. Soldiers are patrolling the streets and people are being tortured for information on her whereabouts. It was only a matter of time before someone gives her up. Adding to her confusion, her best friend, Tate Stephler, is suddenly ignoring her and Althea finds herself in possession of a book that rewrites her entire identity. As she struggles to come to terms with her new found power, a window of luck opens and Althea has the golden opportunity to infiltrate the castle and kill the Royals. But it's much harder to wield a knife when you have emotions standing in your way.
