As heir to the Saldana clan of assassins, the , Oleander “Lea” Saldana roams the streets of Lovero at night without fear. Besides carrying out official assassinations, fulfilling her duty as a “clipper”, Lea has a secret: she has a clandestine relationship with Valentine “Val” Da Via, a member of another rival assassin clan. Lea’s fairytale with Val shatters once the Da Via’s launch an attack, effectively destroying the rest of Lea’s family and leaving her hunted by the Da Via’s and their allies. In an attempt to redeem her family’s lost status and rejoin clipper society as a member of a respected clan, Lea must find a way to exact vengeance on the Da Via’s. With the help of her estranged uncle and his apprentice, Alessio, Lea embarks on her deadly journey of redemption.

Assassin’s Heart combines the traditional adventurous hero’s journey intertwined with the classic star-crossed lovers and action. From the first page, the characters leap out of the page, diving into immediate action that lasts for the duration of the novel. Ahiers creates the character of Lea with a spark of tenacity and a believable voice. While the novel initially starts as an action-filled journey, it soon develops into novel where romance often conceals, and in some cases, detracts, from the main plot line. Overall, Assassin’s Heart promises an action-filled, interesting read for subsequent additions to the series.
