Seventeen-year-old sorceress Ileni finds her morals and her magic abilities tested as she goes undercover in the Imperial Academy of Sorcery, ready to signal assassins to attack. When Arxis, another assassin spy, also infiltrates the Academy, Ileni doesn't know whom to trust. This second volume extends the first's compelling magical world–building; political intrigue, double-crosses, and romantic tension round out the novel.
