Atla is a criminal. And so are The Blades, the name of her new family of assassins. As a Blade, it's Atla's job to protect the world from evil people - killing her marks that have wronged their society-though the money doesn't hurt either. When Alekai stages a coup and corrupts the new High King, Atla must prove that The Blades are not just killing machines but a group bringing justice to the unfortunate when the world has failed them.
Through love, loss, friendship, and family, Atla learns that doing the right thing is not always the best decision.
