The first volume of a compulsive new urban fantasy series, featuring a half vampire-half mage assassin.
In a world where being of mixed-blood is a major liability, Sabina doesn't really fit in. And being an assassin - the only profession fit for an outcast -
doesn't help matters. But she's never brought her work home. Until now.
Her latest mission is uncomfortably complex, and threatens the fragile peace between the vampire and mage races. As Sabina scrambles to figure out which side she's on, she uncovers a tangled political web, some nasty facts about her family and some unexpected new talents. Any of these things could be worryingly life-changing, but together, they could be fatal ...
Brassy, sassy, and hip! Well s' promising debut is a fast-paced trip through a dark and dangerous landscape featuring an unusual take on vampires, mages, faeries, and demons. It hooks you on page one and takes you for a great ride! * Kat Richardson *
Fast-paced and funny ... Very enjoyable! * Karen Chance *
There's plenty of action, the pacing is fast and the characters interesting ... an interesting book that deserves to be recommended * SFRevu *
Action-packed suspense at its best. And urban fantasy doesn't get much better than this. Steeped in mystery, intrigue, and magic, this debut is one of the best I've read in months * Sci-Fi Chick *
