Hannah A. Finch: Sorrow's Blade, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

Friend or Foe, Thief or Assassin, Justice or Revenge? Which path will she choose?

Ahzya Xion often found herself in places she shouldn't be-nearly all of the time it was on purpose. It started innocently enough. Nothing illegal about escaping the orphanage to play in the caves of the Ulkadasan cliffside. Perhaps it turned nefarious the moment her escape took her off familiar shores; smuggled on board a foreign ship set for its far-off homeland. Or it may have been when she locked eyes with King Mark Erinth, and those blue eyes told her he knew she didn't belong, and deep down, she feared he was right. From her first steal on Alpanian streets to a caravan loaded with riches, no place appeared off-limits to her new role of thief. A teenage illegal immigrant had to scratch up a living somehow. However, six years since setting out on her own, she no longer works for mere survival but for the tantalising thrill. When an offer arrives asking her to switch roles to that of assassin, and commit regicide, revenge is an alluring incentive. Yet, when it comes to facing old friends and foes, the facts of this origin story may begin to blur.
