    About this ebook

    In Darkhaven, peace doesn’t last long.

    Ayla Nightshade has ruled Darkhaven for three years since the tragedy that tore her family apart. She has left her father’s cruel legacy behind and become a leader her people can believe in – or so she hopes.

    Tomas Caraway is no longer disgraced; he’s Captain of the Helm and the partner of the most powerful woman in Darkhaven. He will do everything to protect Ayla and their adopted son against all possible threats.

    But protecting the Nightshade family is no easy task: a weapon has been discovered that is so deadly, it can kill even the powerful creatures they turn into.

    A weapon that has fallen into the hands of an assassin who will stop at nothing to see Ayla dead.

    A. F. E. Smith

    A.F.E. Smith is an editor of academic texts by day and a fantasy writer by night. So far, she hasn't mixed up the two. She lives with her husband and their two young children in a house that someone built to be as creaky as possible. Her successful series The Darkhaven Novels, including the novels Goldenfire (2016) and Darkhaven (2015), will continue in 2017 with Windsinger.

      Very interesting misdirection here with many candidates for the spy and a lot of interesting science meeting magic. Alya Nightshade is dealing with her brother's death, power, politics and how apparently there is an assassin trying to kill her. There's a weapon out there that can kill her family and she has to find ways to mitigate it without killing herself. Meanwhile her personal life is complicated too.I liked it, good characters and a good story and quite enjoyable.
