The winding streets and narrow alleys of Karolene hide many secrets, and Hitomi is one of them. Orphaned at a young age, Hitomi has learned to hide her magical aptitude and who her parents really were. Most of all, she must conceal her role in the Shadow League, an underground movement working to undermine the powerful and corrupt Arch Mage Wilhelm Blackflame. When the League gets word that Blackflame intends to detain-and execute-a leading political family, Hitomi volunteers to help the family escape. But there are more secrets at play than Hitomi’s, and much worse fates than execution. When Hitomi finds herself captured along with her charges, it will take everything she can summon to escape with her life.

Summary
Ms. Khanani is an excellent storyteller. This fantasy book is well worth your time. The characters are true to their personality and the main character, Hitomi, is very
endearing. The story is filled with magic and mythical characters such as vampires, mages, and dementors. I was captured from the first few pages and couldn’t put the book
down. There were lots of twists and turns that I did not see coming. The action was fast paced, but the author did not spare the needed detail to make you feel as though you were seeing the story take place rather than reading it. There is violence in the book, but otherwise it is a clean read.
Violence There is quite a bit of violence in this book.
