Silvercloak

Saffron Killoran wants revenge for her parents’ murder twenty years ago. She gains entry to an elite detective academy through fraud. Her goal is to bring their killers, Lunile Sângerii, to justice. When her deceit comes to light, she faces an unexpected choice. Rather than expel her, the academy offers her an undercover mission. She must join the gang and bring it down from within.

The gang’s dark mages inhabit a corrupt world. Both pleasure and pain fuel its magic and serve as currency. To keep her cover, Saff must commit terrible acts herself. A single mistake could expose her and cost her life. Her pursuit of justice becomes bound up with violence and revenge.
