Vitani Illea never had a normal life. She's part of an advanced superhuman society of criminals and terrorists called Serpentine. As an assassin and a mere military pawn for her father, Vitani never thought that there was more to life than being a murderer. She never experienced love since she was raised to be ruthless and merciless. When you live by the saying "Kill or be killed" you don't have many options.

When her gang of badasses have to live among the "junias" (the ordinary humans), in a college Vitani sees and learns so much. Soon Vitani finds herself falling head over heels for football jock Tames, and starts making new friends. Overwhelmed by this new set of feelings she discovered, Vitani struggles with her need to avenge the boy from her past and her wish to be human.

But sometimes you can't change what you are.

Self control was always sometimes she lacked. And when her new friends become suspicious... she must do what she can to protect them from the darkness that is deep within her.

But how long can that last?

And will Vitani be willing to risk everything for the man she loves?

From the author who gave you The Chronicles of Immortals, The new series Assassins of Thorns will truly sweep you into a whole new perspective of life.
