Rags to riches is supposed to be a nice fantasy. Going from a cheap London hovel to an elite fae academy should be amazing, especially when it involves a medieval castle. It's just a bit more complicated when we're training to be assassins--and I have to share a room with a terrifying, gorgeous shadow Fae known as the Wraith. It starts when The Wraith hunts me down. Ruadan has taken a vow of silence to snuff out illegal magic– magic that I possess. He lets me live on one condition: I have to earn my place at the Court of the Shadow Fae. I'm a survivor. I think I can manage the competition. Too bad the posh recruits have it in for me. Worse, I'm forced to share a room with the silent Wraith, who is as sinister as he is hot. All it takes is one slip up, and I'm out. And at the Court of the Shadow Fae, failure means death.
