As an orphan, Ilona Woods was forced into becoming an assassin due to her race, the Fae's, customs. Following strict rules and killing innocent people is a life she's never wanted, but there's finally some reprieve attending a new school, with a new best friend.
Until Jack Cooke, the black-haired boy from chemistry class, tries to poison her in the school cafeteria. He's determined she should pay for her lifestyle, but as secrets are revealed, neither can deny the attraction that grows between them.
But by then it's too late, Jack has started into motion a chain of events no one is ready for. A forgotten race has risen up with a single champion and Ilona is his pawn. In the final hour, she's forced to make the unbearable choice of who to save: herself, her race, or the humans she's come to love.
