Publisher's Summary
Ryana, a worthless girl-child, is sold to a mysterious woman who takes her to the home of the Shadow Sisters who are prized for their abilities as spies and assassins. She survives years of training in spite of being unconventional: adopting poisonous bats as familiars - something no one else would dare to do; choosing the blow dart as her weapon of choice - a weapon the Sisters don't teach; and relying on intuition rather than logic.
As she completes her training, the Shadow Sisters are under attack. The senior Sister selects Ryana to find out who is killing Sisters and why - because her intuitive approach has proved effective, even though her youth and inexperience makes it unlikely she will survive.
As she travels through the kingdom as a member of a gypsy clan, she finds the only way she can protect the Sisters and hope to discover the underlying plot is through ever more violence and killing. As she proceeds through the provinces, her secret enemies come to call her the Sister of Death and become desperate to find and kill her. But in her desperate fight to protect the Sisterhood and the kingdom, Ryana fears that she has destroyed herself and the only life she ever wanted.

Though there are many futures, that is the one I see most clearly. Enjoy!

An interesting life diary!
Loved this book. It had a strong female protagonist whose journey into being a shadow sister was enjoyably chronicled. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys strong female character with out the soft porn tossed in.

Intricate! Thoroughly satisfying!
Could barely stop to sleep. Excellent storytelling. I enjoyed this new series immensely. I love the worlds this author has created so far they are detailed and the characters pull you inside and don't let go.

Good book
Borrowed it because it was free and was looking for something to listen too. The narrator doesn't have a lot of inflection but it's a good story for younger teens. A lot of repetition, self doubt, and she manages to catch the most desirable male that all the other females want.

Meh…
Came across flat, i kept waiting for the killer punch or plot but I didn’t get it.
I didn’t like the melancholy expressed by the main character every time.
On the hand, the narrator was excellent, able to play different characters very well.
It’s still a good book, just not a great one.

Hard to connect
Some really cool premises but I found it hard to become invested in the characters. This is a book for a younger audience maybe.
