Growing up without parents, in a castle ruled by an iron-fisted king, is the furthest thing from a fairy tale, as is being forced into the Cruex, the king's group of hand-selected assassins. But with each passing year, she comes to enjoy the act of killing more and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKill or be killed--she chooses the former.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA decade ago, King Darius Tymond banished The Caldari--those who practice illusi , or old magick--from Trendalath Kingdom, ensuring that no Caldari will ever step foot in his kingdom again. But Arden discovers otherwise after a dual-assigned mission goes horribly awry. Even more startling, she discovers that she may have more in common with the Caldari than she's been led to believe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArden wants to trust that King Tymond's intentions are pure, but as their pasts collide in unexpected ways, the quicker she realizes the consequences and dangers of his reign.
