In the cold, wet streets of Ferrumhold, all Khaos magic is outlawed, and possession is punishable by death. 

The lethal nineteen-year-old Narkan assassin, Corvina Tamas is assigned to take out a powerful Khaos wielder, an Ignis - fire-bearer. The terms of her assignment were simple; take out the Ignis and stay in the shadows.  

But when she finds herself in Ferrumhold's fighting pits, facing off against its ruthless Champion Tallon Slater - staying in the shadows no longer became an option. 

With Ferrumhold's mysterious champion now suspicious of her, finding the Ignis is complicated now more than ever. But staying hidden isn't going to be her biggest problem, Corvina guards a dark secret, one from the past that she cannot escape... one that she thought she could keep hidden. 

A secret punishable by death. 

Because there is one term to describe Corvina Tamas... Umbra Dei. 
The shadow of a God.

Jo has sacrificed everything to save her family. For two years, she has done whatever she is told, no questions asked. In return, her family and friends remain safe from the roving bands of gangs that now prowl the streets of what used to be America. After showing mercy during one of her assignments, she is given a guardian. A man sent to watch her and make sure she doesn't deviate from her orders again. A man she doesn't understand and refuses to obey. Her new assignment turns out to be much more complicated than any of her previous ones. In the process of executing her orders, she begins to learn some hard truths about herself. And, for the first time, she begins to question exactly who is giving her the assignments. And why. But Kerus is keeping secrets of his own. Sworn to not intervene, he finds himself breaking his promises as well. And soon, he must decide how far he is willing to go. And how much he is willing to trust Jo. For unbeknownst to her, the assignments are not what they seem. And the fate of their world may just rest on her success.
