Death Sworn

by Lean Cypess

Synopsis:

Ileni is losing her magic. And that means she''s losing everything: Her status as the renegade sorcerers'' most powerful rising star. Her purpose in life. The boy she loves. Her home.

Exiled to teach sorcery to the assassins hidden deep within the mountains, she expects no one will ever hear from her again. The last two tutors died within weeks of each other. As Ileni unravels the mystery surrounding their deaths, she''ll uncover secrets that have been kept for decades-and she''ll find an unexpected ally and dangerous new love.

But even he may not be able to protect her. Not when she''s willing to risk everything.

My Thoughts:

Three of my favorite things...murder, mystery and magic...top with assassins and romance and Cypress has a guaranteed bestseller!!  I was ensnared from the first page.  Ileni is losing her magic and that means losing her status as the renegade sorcerers’ most powerful rising star, the boy she loves and her purpose in life.  Giving up on life she volunteers to leave her home to teach sorcery to the assassins deep within the mountains.  She doesn’t expect to come out alive.  The last two teachers sent were murdered.  Her only hope is that before she too is killed that she will discover who is behind the murders of the previous tutors.  This is a well written engaging story that lovers of fantasy will devour.
