In the dystopian world of "The Order" lies, betrayal, and secrets become the twisted threads weaving the tapestry of Forest Blackburn's tumultuous existence. Once a noble Untouchable, she now stands as a martyr, an unwilling symbol of defiance in a world governed by privilege and oppression. As she grapples with the impending loss of self-control and the enigmatic forces that threaten to unravel her, life spirals into a chaotic dance of power and manipulation. Forest's struggle intensifies as she endeavors to shield the Unfortunates, those who once bowed at her feet, from the encroaching darkness orchestrated by the leaders of her society. The impending shadows of those in control loom ever closer, casting doubt on her ability to maintain her precarious position above the tumultuous waters of societal upheaval.

Will she emerge from the shadows triumphant, or will the demons that haunt her prove to be an inescapable force, dragging her down into the abyss? The stakes are higher, the dangers more profound, and the game has only just begun.

Book Description
An Assassin with a forbidden power. A Princess with a deadly secret. A Mage with a dying magic. The King of Atjas outlawed magic twenty years ago, ensuring the prosperity of his human kingdom and the eradication of magical beings across the continent. But not everyone is willing to comply. Ashe, the most skilled assassin in the capital, is on a mission to find her younger sister. She disregards the king’s orders by using a magical dagger that entraps her victim’s souls, and defies the laws of magic as a human who can channel its power–something that should be utterly impossible… and very deadly. Eleanora, the princess raised to despise anyone who isn’t human and fated to continue her father’s work, discovers she’s a Shapeshifter. When this revelation comes to light, both the assassin’s and the princess’s lives implode, threatening to shatter a kingdom held together by lies. Ashe must trust her skills, bend her morals, and rely on a judgemental Mage if she wants any chance of escaping persecution and finding her sister. Eleanora must forge new alliances, embrace her true nature, and reconsider everything she’s been taught if she wishes to be free. Can they save themselves and those who dare help them? Will they uncover the hidden truths behind their kingdom’s facade? And will they save their loved ones or lose themselves in the process?
