Death marked

Ileni could change the world. She could do what she has always been trained to do: destroy the Empire. Her people want her to. The assassin she loves—who is now deadlier than ever—wants her to. But now that she knows her entire life was built on a lie, Ileni needs to see the truth for herself. Is the Empire truly as evil as she has always believed? The answers lie in the Imperial Academy of Sorcery, a place where danger and temptation sit side by side. If her true purpose is discovered, she won't escape alive. But once she discovers what the imperial sorcerers can offer her, she may not want to leave. Ileni has found the one thing she never expected—a place where she belongs. Except, this place has its secrets, too. The truth is never purely evil or purely good. And Ileni no longer knows whose side she is on.
