In Her Shadow - K. L. Hazlett

. .

Résumé :
Twenty-one-year-old sorceress Adara has trained since childhood to be a killer. Her grandfather, as head of the Assassins' Guild, raised her to believe in the morality of their mission: to rid the world of criminals and the suffering they cause. But there's more to Adara than her lethal abilities-more than she even knows herself. When a routine mission goes wrong, she is kidnapped by enemies of her estranged mother, and soon, Adara is caught up in politics at the highest level. In discovering the truth about her parents and the origins of her powers, Adara must decide who she wants to be . . . even if it means leaving everything from her old life behind. The fate of the world may rest in the balance. Set in a richly imagined world where magic has evolved after the fall of democracy, In Her Shadow is an action-packed story of power, corruption, justice, and family bonds.
