Life hasn’t been good to Lucia and she has returned the favor. Her family is poor, her father beats her and she has a bad habit of using the closest object at hand to smack anyone who disturbs her. When her latest apprenticeship turns out be with a witch, the situation is actually an improvement. Still, life has its ups and downs. A famous seer warns Lott that her apprentice is destined to kill one of magic. Lucia’s friend, Denae, can kill any six normal people, yet, her dream of becoming a spy seems out of reach. A girl who stutters terribly is easy to remember, and spies need to be extremely forgettable. Things can always get worse. Lucia’s father, convinced that the witch is cheating him out of his rightful profits, demands that his daughter return home. Lucia’s behavior improves much slower than her magic. Hopefully her skill will be enough to stop her father from bringing her home, the seer from removing her mouth, Denae from being kicked out of the guard and the magician, Ravidan who is going to want to kill her as soon as he learns she exists.
