In a kingdom built on holy lies, the shadows are the only honest things left. Lyra Thorne is not a hero. She is an assassin with a sharp wit, sharper daggers, and a serious craving for gingerbread. After being left for dead, she returns to Aethelgard with a simple checklist: break into the impregnable Cathedral of Eternal Light, steal the mysterious Amethyst Eye, and kill the man who betrayed her. It was supposed to be a clean job. But in a city where Paladins guard dark secrets and magic has a mind of its own, the perfect revenge rarely goes according to plan. Lyra is about to discover that some betrayals run deeper than she imagined, and that the night is far more dangerous than she is.
