New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Chloe C. Penaranda is back with a brand new romantasy, featuring a heroine with untapped magic as she forges an uneasy alliance with one of the most dangerous leaders of the Guild.
Magic takes more than blood. It demands your soul.
Under the iron fist of the Arcanum Order, magic belongs to the elite. By day, Scythe scrapes by in the city's poorest district, by night she's a paid assassin to provide for her family. When a job goes sideways, Scythe makes a desperate play: steal an invitation into the Guild, the Order's stronghold where initiates are tested, broken, and buried in the ruthless pursuit of claiming magic.
Then Asher Kyrell - the Guild's most enigmatic leader - claims her as his apprentice.
Forced to work by his side, Scythe begins to uncover fractures within the "perfect" Arcanum Order. Devotion demanded in blood and soul. And as Scythe's lessons with Asher draw them closer, and dangers bind them tighter, Scythe can't be certain if Asher is her greatest ally, or the most devastating lie of all.
The threat is not only the demons that hunt them, but what has been watching from within all along. When her loyalty is put to the test, Scythe risks losing everything, including her soul. Or she could become the spark that ignites a rebellion she never saw coming.
