In a world where powerful men hold all the control and magic is the ultimate privilege, Aila grew up with two secrets: spy to a powerful man and the only wielder of Darkness! She was groomed to kill and to lie, and she learned from a very young age that her own power could become her biggest weakness. But her latest mission will either force her to reveal herself or to betray her only friend!

For years, she enjoyed the luxury and safety of Niram’s palace, trading in secrets and whispers whilst keeping her own power hidden at all costs. Yet, as she crosses path with a mesmerizing captain and a brewing rebellion, she begins to realize there are more forces at play than she ever imagined. Now, she will finally have to learn what her power – and herself – are really worth.

As her world crumbles down and her secrets are revealed, Aila will need to face her own mentor or risk losing herself.
