Publisher's Synopsis

The unlikely assassin of the king flees from a group of ruthless mercenaries as the country falls to ruin, in this gripping, gritty and action-packed fantasy adventure from a Booktok and podcast sensation. Perfect for fans of R.F. Kuang, H.M. Long and R.J. Barker. Anji works as a castle servant, cleaning laundry for a king she hates. So when a rare opportunity presents itself, she seizes the chance to cut his throat. Then she runs for her life. In her wake, the kingdom is thrown into disarray, while a bounty bigger than anyone could imagine lands on her head.

On her heels are the fabled mercenaries of the Menagerie, whose animal-shaped masks are magical relics rumored to give them superhuman powers. It's the Hawk who finds Anji first: a surly, aging swordswoman who has her own reasons for keeping Anji alive and out of the hands of her fellow bounty hunters, if only long enough to collect the reward herself.

With the rest of the Menagerie on their trail, so begins an alliance as tenuous as it is temporary―and a race against death that will decide Anji's fate, and may change the course of a kingdom.
