Willow is a sixteen-year-old girl living in the small town of Umber. An orphan and an outcast, she supports her family in the only way she knows: The way of an Assassin. When her cousin's life is risked, Willow is forced to face the wide open world, and it is relentless. With only her rival and her own instincts to rely on, Willow must make a choice: defy the King himself, or lose everything she's ever loved.
