Heart of Sin
Not all sins are forgivable. At five years old, Sinyara was taken by the Order, trained to become a Protector—a magical assassin. She has always known what she is. Evil at her core, corrupted by the magic within. Her only shot at redemption is to rid the world of others like her; those with magic in their veins. In the war to destroy magic, Sin must choose her loyalties. Her choice could cause the destruction of the magical community—or the desolation of her Order, her home and, with it, her entire identity. Can she learn to trust that she holds more in her heart than darkness? Or does magic really corrupt all?
