Assassin's Heart
by Sarah Ahiers
In the kingdom of Lovero, nine rival Families of assassins lawfully kill
people for a price. As a highly skilled member of one of these powerful
clans, seventeen-year-old Lea Saldana has always trusted in the strength
of her Family. Until she awakens to find them murdered and her home in
flames. The Da Vias, the Saldanas’ biggest enemy, must be
responsible—and Lea should have seen it coming. But her secret
relationship with the Da Vias’ son, Val, has clouded her otherwise
killer instinct—and given the Da Vias more reason than ever to take her
Family down.
Racked with guilt and shattered over Val’s probable betrayal, Lea
sets out to even the score, with her heart set on retaliation and only
one thought clear in her mind: make the Da Vias pay.
With shades of The Godfather and Romeo and Juliet, this richly
imagined fantasy from debut author Sarah Ahiers is a story of love,
lies, and the ultimate vengeance.
