With Ravaryn on the brink of war, King Orson becomes desperate for any edge against the ever-growing Targaryn kingdom. So desperate, he calls to his rebellious, decorated assassin to murder the crowned prince, soon to be king. Vera is resistant at first, but when the king proposes her freedom in exchange for the prince's head, she reluctantly agrees. 
    
              The only problem? This mission is near to impossible, and her team of thieves is made up of four teenagers.... and two new additions -a defiant princess with daddy issues and a cold-blooded soldier with a mission to kill.
    
                                                                                                  --------------------
              Then we stood at the mouth of the sewer, staring into the dark abyss with nothing but a finicky lamp and an unusual team of six rebellious kids.
              What we were about to do was treason at the highest level. It was hard not to think about as it thrummed in my body, through my blood. My adrenaline was already pumping through me. If we got caught... if any of us were recognized... The consequences were too severe to think about.
               But, then again, though we faced impending doom, I knew I secretly loved it--the rush. I craved it, sought it out. That's what brought us here, thousands of miles from our home, about to enter the enemy's heart.
               "Are you ready?" I asked, to no one in particular but saw it fitting. Sophie gave me a weak smile, but it was Sorin who responded, smirking cockily and flipping his only blade into his holster.
