The King of Atjas outlawed magic twenty years ago, ensuring the prosperity of his human kingdom and the eradication of magical beings across the continent. But not everyone is willing to comply.
Ashe, the most skilled assassin in the capital, is on a mission to find her younger sister. She disregards the king’s orders by using a magical dagger that entraps her victim’s souls, and defies the laws of magic as a human who can channel its power-something that should be utterly impossible... and very deadly.
Eleanora, the princess raised to despise anyone who isn’t human and fated to continue her father’s work, discovers she’s a Shapeshifter. When this revelation comes to light, both the assassin’s and the princess’s lives implode, threatening to shatter a kingdom held together by lies.
Ashe must trust her skills, bend her morals, and rely on a judgemental Mage if she wants any chance of escaping persecution and finding her sister. Eleanora must forge new alliances, embrace her true nature, and reconsider everything she’s been taught if she wishes to be free.
Can they save themselves and those who dare help them? Will they uncover the hidden truths behind their kingdom’s facade? And will they save their loved ones or lose themselves in the process?
