Emilie des Marais is more at home holding scalpels than embroidery
needles and is desperate to escape her noble roots to serve her
country as a physician. But society dictates a noble lady cannot

beginnings and is desperate to be trained in magic. So when a
strange noble girl offers Annette the chance of a lifetime, she
accepts. Emilie and Annette swap lives-Annette attends finishing
school as a noble lady to be trained in the ways of divination,

-Tamora Pierce, #1 New York Times bestselling author I needed to
win. They needed to die. Sallot Leon is a thief, and a good one at
that. But gender fluid Sal wants nothing more than to escape the
drudgery of life as a highway robber and get closer to the
upper-class-and the nobles who destroyed their home. When Sal
steals a flyer for an audition to become a member of The Left
Hand-the Queen's personal assassins, named after the rings she
wears-Sal jumps at the chance to infiltrate the court and get
revenge. But the audition is a fight to the death filled with
clever circus acrobats, lethal apothecaries, and vicious
ex-soldiers. A childhood as a common criminal hardly prepared Sal
for the trials. And as Sal succeeds in the competition, and wins
the heart of Elise, an intriguing scribe at court, they start to
dream of a new life and a different future, but one that Sal can
have only if they survive. This heart-pounding YA story of magic,
danger, and revenge is perfect for readers looking for: epic books
