    About this ebook

    Thalia Sunborn is a professional assassin from the Eastern Isles. Although she is feared now by potential targets and other assassins, alike, she was once a scrawny 16-year-old trainee.
    When Talia was six-years-old, a rival murdered her parents. By eight, she was homeless, even the orphans' shelter didn't want this strange, silent girl. She was dying until she saw the rival's new wife. A servant who supposedly died in the same fire as her parents. Now she had a reason to live. And a terrifying vocation.
    See her first assignment with the Assassins Guild and her first kill.

    Laurie Stewart

    Laurie Stewart: Renaissance Goddess.... Well, not quite. I am an independent film maker in Ontario, Canada. I write, direct and produce, or any combination of the three. I also am an author, with two cookbooks, a gritty YA/NA and several short stories published. I have two more novels on the go, one in first draft and one in editing, more in scattered notes in a file drawer. As hobby, I paint and photograph landscapes, and want to learn to paint portraits. Most of my work has to do with fantasy, swords and sorcery, Celtic gods, ancient Scotland... and totally made up worlds. I love gargoyles and skeletons, and might have a few Gothic touches around my house. I live with my husband and Yeti, the abominable snow-cat, on a 1 acre hobby farm near Canada’s capital city. I love gardening, cooking real and whole foods, photographing the never-ended changes in the sky and fields, and imagining new worlds and new stories.
