YA
Allegra, niece of hunted assassin Lea Saldana (Assassin's Heart), has constantly felt out of place in her family. An unexpected romance blooms with Traveler boy Nev after Allegra learns the truth about her identity--which leads to her kidnapping and more revelations. Set eighteen years after its companion novel, Ahiers's latest YA fantasy contains strong world-building, plenty of plot twists, and a sympathetic heroine.

YA
Lea Saldana is a member of one of Loverno's nine elite Families, powerful mob-like clans of assassins hired to do the work of Safraella, the goddess of death (and rebirth). When Lea's secret boyfriend's Family--the rival Da Vias--kills her entire Family, she seeks revenge. The in-depth, rich fantasy world is more assuredly built than the book's characters and plot.
