MARKSWOMAN

Rati Mehrotra

(Asiana Series Book 1)

In this bewitching blend of science fiction and epic fantasy, an order of female assassins with telepathic blades brings both peace and chaos to their remarkable world.
Kyra is the youngest Markswoman in the Order of Kali, one of a handful of sisterhoods of highly trained elite warriors. Armed with blades whose metal is imbued with magic and guided by a strict code of conduct, the Orders are sworn to keep the peace and protect the people of Asiana. Kyra has pledged to do so - yet she secretly harbors a fierce desire to avenge her murdered family.

When Tamsyn, the powerful and dangerous Mistress of Mental Arts, assumes control of the Order, Kyra is forced on the run. She is certain that Tamsyn committed murder in a twisted bid for power, but she has no proof.

Filled with terrific characters, expansive world-building, a tough heroine, a formidable hero, and thrilling action, Mahimata has everything fantasy readers want ... Markswoman and Mahimata are catnip for sci fi and fantasy authors who bring a great element of action to their stories, such as Sarah Beth Durst, S. A. Chakraborty, Marie Lu, and Sabaa Tahir, and are ideal for fans of authors such as Emily R. King, who mix magic and romance brilliantly. -- Gizmo Reviews

Continuing a series that has enchanted readers, Mehrotra delivers another epic, action-packed fantasy in a desert world with a past full of secrets, in which every chapter reveals layered worldbuilding. -- Library Journal
