In a world ruled by sin, love is a dangerous game. Eva has never fit into the restrictive Commonwealth, where love is a sin and lust is a death sentence. But when she’s chosen to become an assassin, she doesn’t just belong…she shines. Eager to find her place at last, Eva’s determined to use her eerie abilities to best her deadly, not to mention handsome, mentor, Ari. But she soon realizes that besting your mentor is difficult when you’re falling for him. Bound together by a blood oath, there’s no way for Eva to avoid Ari. Yet the more time they spend together, the harder it is to resist the lure of his green eyes, his grace with a sword, and the charm beneath the sarcastic front he shows the world. When Ari falls for Eva too, they are terrified. As their feelings grow, and Eva’s mysterious physical gifts heighten, so does the threat of discovery. But the Commonwealth is built on secrets, and when Ari uncovers one that could destroy it, Eva must choose between love and survival. Author's Note If you can’t resist fierce girls with swords, infuriating guys with hearts of gold, forbidden love between a mentor and apprentice who can’t keep their hands off each other, and star-crossed lovers who fight to the death by each other’s sides, then this is the book for you.
