Summary

Innocent by day, killer by night: a dark, twisting thriller about a teen assassin’s attempt to live a normal life.

Trained and traumatised by a secret assassin program for minors, Isabel Ryans wants nothing more than a new life as a normal civilian. And she might just be in with a shot when she befriends Emma Westray, because for the first time in her life things are looking up.

But old habits die young, and it’s not long until she blows her cover, drawing the attention of the guilds—the two rival organisations who control the city of Espera. An unaffiliated killer like Isabel is either a potential asset...or a threat to be eliminated.

Will the blood on her hands cost her everything?

From Finn Longman, an exhilarating voice in YA fiction, comes an addictive trilogy for fans of global phenomena The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Killing Eve and The Hunger Games.

A powerful first novel

It was strange to feel so much compassion for a character who was a ruthless killer. I felt her pain and hopelessness but also her hope for a better future.

A gripping read - hoping for a sequel
