- pawn
- in
- Caspon's
- merciless
- quest
- for
- power
- over
- the
- guilds
- of
- Caesia.Bound
- by
- a
- cruel
- enchantment,
- the
- Nightingale
- is
- trapped
- in
- a
- brutal
- battle
- against
- forced
- obedience.
- Defying
- Caspon
- brings
- nothing
- but
- pain,
- but
- she
- refuses
- to
- submit
- to
- his
- sadistic
- whims.
- The
- lives
- she's
- forced
- to
- take
- only
- stoke
- her
- desire
- for
- revenge.Meanwhile,
- General
- Astin
- Talros
- has
- set
- his
- sights
- on
- capturing
- one
- of

- most
- infamous
- killers,
- unknowingly
- hunting
- a
- halfblood—one
- of
- Caesia's
- most
- feared
- creatures.
- But
- the
- Nightingale
- isn't
- alone;
- with
- an
- unexpected
- ally
- by
- her
- side,
- she's
- determined
- to
- break
- free
- from
- Caspon's
- control
- and
- seek
- vengeance
- against
- those
- who
- have
- wronged
- her."In
- a
- world
- where
- most
- humans
- have
- a
- superstitious
- fear
- of
- the
- elf-like,
- tree-dwelling
- anthelai,
- a
- half-anthela
- girl,
- a
- rarity
- considered
- a
- demon
- by
- the
- human
- population,
- survives
- the
- brutal
- destruction
- of
- her
- home
- only
- to
- be
- enslaved
- by
- the
- rapacious
- human
- Guildmaster
- Lorcen
- Caspon.

- mysterious
- assassin

- and
- terror
- until

- by
- a
- determined
- opponent
- of
- equal
- skill:
- Astin
- Talros,
- a
- general
- in
- service
- to
- the
- king.
- Her
- struggle
- to
- escape
- Caspon
- and
- avenge
- her
- family's
- death
- becomes
- a
- race
- against
- her
- relentless
- pursuit
- by
- Talros,
- who,
- unaware
- that
- she
- acts
- under
- compulsion,
- is
- sworn
- to
- destroy
- her.
- Effectively
- melding
- briskly-paced
- action
- with
- the
- internal
- struggles
- of
- both
- a
- traumatized
- young
- outcast
- forced
- into
- horrific
- deeds
- and
- the
- wily
- but
- honorable
- Talros.

- and
- difficult
- choices."
