Read this in a day. A quick read but full of action and mystery. I also like how Ileni isn't a character who is the strongest/most powerful/skilled. Well...she used to be but not anymore. Her story picks up with her losing her magic and having to fend by her wits. She is surrounding by assassins who could kill her at any moment. 
 Great character building an story development. There were quite few plot twists too. I want the next book now!
