"Esha is a legend, but no one knows. It's only in the shadows that she moonlights as the Viper, the rebels' highly skilled assassin. . . . Kunal has been a soldier since childhood, training morning and night to uphold the power of King Vardaan. . . . Esha's and Kunal's paths cross--and an unimaginable chain of events unfolds. Both the Viper and the soldier think they're calling the shots, but they're not the only players moving the pieces. As the bonds that hold their land in order break down and the sins of the past meet the promise of a new future, both rebel and soldier must make unforgivable choices"--Author's website.
