When Ileni lost her magic, she lost everything: her place in society, her purpose in life, and the man she had expected to spend her life with. So when the Elders sent her to be magic tutor to a secret sect of assassins, she went willingly, even though the last two tutors had died under mysterious circumstances.

But beneath the assassins’ caves, Ileni will discover a new place and a new purpose… and a new and dangerous love. She will struggle to keep her lost magic a secret while teaching it to her deadly students, and to find out what happened to the two tutors who preceded her. But what she discovers will change not only her future, but the future of her people, the assassins… and possibly the entire world.

Her stomach twisted into a knot. She reached out, plucked the ball from his hand, and popped it into her mouth. It tasted bitter and sweet, solid and melting all at once, and lingered in her mouth as if she would taste it forever. She gaped at Sorin. "Chocolate?"

I'll point out that two sentences before this, she thought it was poison. Death by chocolate.

    Ooh, this book sounds great! I'm glad it was chocolate and not poison haha. Death by chocolate is probably a nicer way to go than poison anyway. Great teaser!
    Thanks for sharing and stopping by Bookmunchies (:

    Oh, this sounds like a very good read! And I am wondering just how Ileni will be able to change her ways now that she has no more magic.

    I'm adding this to my TBR :) Happy reading.

    I am about to read this book any time this month, Kirsty. I hope I will enjoy it. If that piece of a dialogue is any indication, I think this book will be really fun. Hahahaha.

    Thanks for sharing!
