Book 2 (Of the Continents) In the dead of night, they come. You don't hear them. You don't see them. You don't know them. But they know you. Death comes swiftly. They are Assassins from the Ivory Fox-a renowned guild in Amrynn. Lyra Kendrick's alter ego is Bree DeMarion. She is a skilled killer with a major secret. She is the princess of Raeviel. Her mission? To stay away from Ashton Alaric. Her betrothed. Or so is stated by her father. When she meets Caspian LaVane, she hates him. It's as if he's only there to annoy her. Since the moment they met, they've butt heads. As they make their trek to Bayden, nerves and patience fray. In Bayden, Lyra is faced with a choice. Death or life. A choice she makes without a second thought. Life. She signs away her life to the service of the Ivory Fox. She joins a guild that should hunt her down, kill her, and take her head to Alcottian. But that is not what Uriel Erickson has in store for the young princess. With every choice, the plot runs deeper. So do family ties and royal politics.
