Blurb How far would you go, and what lines would you cross, simply to survive?Within the depths of the Mountain of Souls, an ancient sect raises orphans to become remorseless assassins.Abandoned by an empire ravaged by war, hundreds die during selection, leaving adetermined, bloodied few, honed by training and enchantment, to emerge as TheChosen – an elite cohort tasked with delivering an ancient prophecy. Malina is one of those orphans. Cursed with yellow eyes and deathly pale skin, she is neither popular nor strong and appears certain to die on her first day, twisted and broken like so many before her.Fate, however, has other, far more sinister plans for Malina than a quick death.As the forces of darkness rise and the prophesied return of the Once and Future Kingdraws near, Malina must be prepared to sacrifice her very soul to ensure both her survival and his ascension. But is it a price she is willing to pay?
