I have no one I can trust, and nothing to rely on but my own brains and courage. Will they be enough?
My name is Vera Matsumoto. I’m sixteen, an orphan, and until now my life was planned by my cousin, the Emperor. I wish it still was. I broke our cardinal rule when I killed a man who attacked me. Now, they’ve taken everything from me. They’ll take my life, too, unless I complete their mission. That’s the problem: the mission is impossible and I don’t know if I can trust Roman, the guardian they assigned me. He’s too young. He’s too foreign. He’s too moody. He’s too new at this. I have a bad feeling that even if I complete this mission, things won’t be the same. Change is coming. Dark currents run under the surface of our society. And they all seem to center on me. I have no one I can trust, and nothing to rely on but my own brains and courage. Will they be enough?
Readers of Kincaid's "The Diabolic" and Lander's "Starflight" will enjoy "The Matsumoto Trilogy."
