A teenage assassin. An impossible choice. The fate of everything hangs in the balance… Sixteen-year-old Reen swore she'd never take another life. Divinely selected to assassinate a few in order to save many, she learned to jump from shadow to shadow and claim her victims without question… until she was ordered to kill the boy she loved. But when an ancient plague returns threatening to infect everyone she knows, she is forced to resume her deadly duties. Battling a disease that turns people into nightmarish monsters, Reen must track down and terminate those responsible before the city falls, and the evil spreads beyond its borders. But the closer she gets to the source, the more she uncovers sinister secrets that will shake the foundations of her world and everything she believes. Can Reen defend her realm without losing her soul? Death Warden is an exhilarating YA fantasy. If you like strong heroines, compelling magic, and dark secrets, then you'll love C.J. Stilling's imaginative tale.
