For as long as Kyra remembers, she has been on her own and out on the streets making ends meet. With help of a couple of friends, she has survived the worst part of her life. She may be a mere thief, but no one in the kingdom can climb walls like her. So when a mysterious and sexy James enters her life, offering her a job for the guild, she takes it even if it is to provide her friends a better life and to avoid the soldiers. But soon she realizes that she has bit off more than she can chew. Just about when she is looking for a way out, she gets captured by Tristam. Tristam offers her a chance of redemption... But could she trust him? 
 Kyra is a smart and stubborn girl, full of spirit. She is a survivor - she had to be to live on the streets since she could remember. She also has a big heart and a conscience. Despite everything, she could be naive at times. For instance, she did fall for James's scheme. However she manages to get herself out of it and eventuall her revenge too. Then there is Tristam, an honorable knight who always tries to do the right thing by everyone and really cares for his friends and people. When their paths cross, there is bound to be some fireworks. James on the other hand is a character I didn't trust from the beginning. 
 Slow build up of the plot almost puts the reader on the edge as they realize that something big is about to happen. The author's narration style is easy to get into and has just enough details about the setting and the background. Though, I have to say, the amount of action is rather disappointing in the story, especially since the blurb talks about an Assassins Guild that instantaneously puts some expectations in a reader's mind. 
 Overall an entertaining fantasy book that I am looking forward to finishing the series.
