Raven was born into a legacy of death. Her mother escaped the massacre of their clan years ago, raising her in the shadows of a life stolen by treachery. Now orphaned and determined to uncover the truth, Raven infiltrates the guild that commands the ten clans, and a council that has no idea she exists. To avenge her family, she must outwit the guild's prodigies, her fiercest rivals and future adversaries, in the deadly Shadow Gauntlet.
Victory in the Shadow Gauntlet means leading the guild and its clans. But Raven wants vengeance, not power. With her eighteenth birthday looming, she has precious little time to unravel the conspiracy that obliterated her clan. However, falling for one of the prodigies complicates everything. Will Raven put duty and revenge above love, or will her heart become her undoing?
