Sloane is a Scion. She was given power as a descent of the ancient Orisha Gods. She is now a child soldier and hiding among the enemy. She wants information, and she is just trying to survive. The plot thickens as she learns more and more about this enemy from within. She learns more about this world she is fighting to protect, and the lives of those she is fighting with and is pitted against at the same time.
This book is absolutely brutal, and also amazing. I will be waiting for the sequel. It is an amazing story.
