Publisher's Synopsis
On her fourteenth birthday, Irene is labeled a prodigy of lethal arts. Leaving her only known home and friends behind, she's taken to Radon to serve as the King's protector.
Three years later, when an attempt is made on Princess Elena's life, Irene has to set her pride aside and ask for help from unlikely sources in order to save her reputation. Together, Irene, Elena, Neven, Kai, and Mal, are drawn into a game of cat and mouse with an elusive assassin whose singular goal is to end the Baar line. The teens soon learn they're up against more than they can handle when the quest takes a mystical turn in the form of tasma-mysterious people who possess a dark magic which can only be defeated by their equal in the light. Legend says these tasma are pure evil, devoid of any human emotion, and bound to their fate by karmic justice. With enemies at every corner, and forbidden feelings blossoming between them, the teenagers must decide who they can trust before they lose their kingdom and their lives.
