In the second installment of Assassin, Adalia is back and stronger than ever. With bounty hunters on her tail, Adalia fights in the Rings, laying low and earning just enough to keep herself alive. Meanwhile, tensions are skyrocketing between the four kingdoms, each prepared to wage war against the other. Adalia is reunited with old friends in places she'd least expect. Love is the last thing on her mind-even though she finds herself running into it at every turn. A perilous voyage awaits her, and Adalia is faced with obstacles that will test her strength, hope, and leadership. Just when it seems like things can't get any worse, hidden secrets and forgotten pasts are brought to light-ones that can either reunite the kingdoms once and for all, or tear them apart for eternity. A war is brewing, and once again, Adalia is standing right in the eye of the storm.
