In a world where two deadly factions—the Thieves and the Assassins—are locked in an ancient rivalry, fourteen-year-old Erin Richards is about to take the final step in her rigorous training. As an A.I.T. (Assassin In Training), she's sent into the most dangerous environment yet: public high school. Here, she must learn to blend in with ordinary teenagers, masking her lethal skills behind the guise of a typical freshman.
But school life isn't as simple as she expected. Erin meets Corey, a mysterious boy with a secret that could shatter her view of the world. When their guidance counselor turns up dead under suspicious circumstances, Erin is thrust into a deadly game where the stakes couldn't be higher. As secrets unravel, she realizes that the danger is closer than she ever imagined—putting either her life or Corey's in the crosshairs.
In a place where trust is a luxury and danger lurks in every hallway, Erin must navigate the treacherous waters of high school drama and lethal conspiracies. Will she emerge unscathed, or will the shadowy world she's been trained to survive consume her?
