An assassin for the Raja, Marinda is charged with kissing
the ruler’s enemies. Until now, all the men have been strangers. Then, she
receives order to kiss her friend, Deven. If she doesn’t kill him, her handler
will kill her brother. Can Marinda save Deven and her brother?
Full of fantastical detail, the plot is a complex mix of
Indian folklore and fantasy. The plot is slower paced, but is intriguing and
the world building draws the reader into the story. The characters are flawed,
likable, and engross the reader into Marinda’s world. Fans of world building
fantasy will enjoy reading this book.
