Seren Novastra was nine years old when she agreed to become a weapon undercover amongst her own kind for the Rebels, all to save her father - the king's - life. Ten years later, the sole heir to the Star Clime is now the most skilled assassin within the Rebellion, upholding her duty to keep her father alive.

Although, when plans go amiss, Seren is forced to take an unfortunate ally in her sworn nemesis - Killian Spade, prince of the Night Clime.

The clock is ticking. Seren must assassinate at the Rebels' request, complete the Trials, and ward off her surprising new allies - all while not getting caught.
