The Serpent Scholar

Sablethorn Academy's top students are recruited by a secret order that trains killers. Rowan Hale is on the shortlist. So are the three people she can't trust: the liar who taught her, the duelist who kissed her, and the broker who won't say who he serves. When a faculty member is murdered, Rowan is the only student who can prove the obvious suspect innocent — and that means the real killer wears a Serpent pin. The induction is next week. Kill or be killed. Rowan has a third option, and it's going to burn the order to the ground.
