Product Description

Dancer… you should call me by my true name. I'm an executioner. Aasira can remember little of her life before the Temple, a school for dancers deep in the desert. Selected for her ability to harness magic through dance, she is one of the Temple's elite students. Not only a dancer but the queen's most powerful weapon: forced to use her powers to execute enemies of the crown. But when memories of the past begin to flood back, Aasira questions who she was before she came to the temple and whether she was truly born to kill.

    Aasira, Sahi and Meera are part of a group of dancers with magical powers. They serve under Kaleb, a military captain who takes them on missions to help keep the rebels quiet. Aasira can control fire and is asked to kill rebels who refuse to yield, Sahi can control people’s perception of truth, and Meera can cause people to fall asleep and have nightmares. These girls live in a school with many others, being trained to join the army. Because of her mother, Lina, Aasira is well-known. But her mother was a rebel, who many believe caused the rift in their country. One half, Amaar, follows Queen Sana, and the other half, Meezer, follows King Faisal. Because of this, many people do not trust Aasira. Aasira has no memories of her mother and fears she does not understand her powers properly. She does not want to be known as an executioner. With trials to join the Queen's Guard approaching, will Aasira get her wish?
