Publisher's Synopsis
The sharpest blade is the one in your back.
After barely surviving her ordeal at the Veil Institute, Mia's had enough of Faustland. There's just one last obligation she has to see through before she takes Adem and moves on. She might return home to Miran or sell her services elsewhere, but wherever it is, it'll be far away.
Baroness Christine Halett has a plan to recapture her stolen lands. It'll be risky, but that's never stopped her before and she won't let it this time either. With Mia, Liam, Harald and Aaron, she knows it can be done. The only thing that matters to her is the mission. Losses are to be expected.
Neither of them know that Chester Buckley has clawed his way back to health. He's made a pact with an ancient creature of power with only one goal on its mind: Revenge. It doesn't care about anything else and neither does Buckley. Christine and Mia will pay...
