A young sorceress's entire life has been shaped to destroy the empire controlling her world. She could change history. But everything she thinks she knows is a lie. The sequel to the critically
acclaimed Death Sworn will thrill fans of Leigh Bardugo and Robin LaFevers.
At seventeen, Ileni lost her magical power and was exiled to the hidden caves of the assassins. She trained the assassins in magic—and fell in love with one of them. And she discovered her entire
life had been built on a lie. After all of this, she wants to see the truth for herself. She infiltrates the Imperial Academy of Sorcery. She will see everything she despises about the corrupt
empire—its thirst for power, merciless control, and careless violence. But she also finds something she never expected—friends, and a place to belong. Ileni no longer knows whose side she is on.
Leah Cypess spins an intricate and beautiful conclusion to Death Sworn.

Editorial Reviews
“In this thrilling sequel to Death Sworn, Ileni has been separated from the
dreamy and dark-eyed assassin Sorin in order to fulfill her destiny. In
the midst of dangerous spell weavers, the formerly powerful sorceress
has returned to the Empire that exiled her to infiltrate the Imperial
Academy…Appealing to fans of Robin LaFevers’s His Fair Assassin series and Kristin Cashore’s Graceling, there is some violence but nothing too
graphic. This novel will especially be appreciated by readers who
enjoyed Cypess’ previous volumes.” —School Library Journal
“A sorceress without magic navigates
lies, treachery, and despair in this thoughtful conclusion to the fantasy
duology that began with Death Sworn…She longs for righteous certainty in a noble
cause, aches to achieve a heroic destiny through some great good deed, but she’s
confronted on every side with ambiguity, complexity, and nothing but bad
options. Yet rather than being crushed by her shattered ideals, Ileni embraces
compromise and learns to reach for the grace of tiny victories. Somber and disquieting but alight
with flickers of hope.” —Kirkus Reviews
