City of Whispers: Imperial Assassin Book 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780645085525)

Dhani Karim was once the Empire's most feared assassin. Framed for a murder she didn't commit, Dhani is exiled to a remote desert city and forced to work alongside former spy Parvan Gorshayik - a broken man hiding a deadly secret.

Assigned a routine mission, things soon turn deadly when they're ambushed and brutally attacked.

Yet, nothing could prepare them for what's coming.

After a second magical attack, Dhani finds herself betrayed and on the run. Worse, the one person she can trust, Parvan...disappears.

Soon, circumstances point to a ruthless cult with plans to sieze the city, and Dhani must race against time to stop a bloodbath that will consume thousands of innocent lives.

Can she expose a deadly conspiracy before it causes a massacre?

Set in a Middle Eastern-inspired land where magic and muskets collide, City of Whispers is the thrilling first book in the Imperial Assassin fantasy adventure series. If you like gutsy heroines, high-octane action, and snarky banter, then you'll love Katt Powers' gritty tale.
