Sal became a thief to survive when his family was killed. The day he stole from a Lady, to the Queen, his life changed. For she held an special invitation to win entitlement of becoming Opal, one of the 5 of the Left Hand to the Queens inner court. If Sal can win Opal then he would enact revenge against his family. Could he also win the Lady's heart? But before doing so Sal would have to battle life and death till the very end against 22 others who are not only stronger but better trained in killing. Could Sal go from thief to killer or would he be able to outwit everyone without killing?
This was not my typical book I would sit and read but I found myself rooting for Sal. He was common man going up against so much more evil. As the pages turned I couldn't wait to get to the next chapter to find out what would happen next to Sal. What was the next challenge and who would be eliminated next. Would he have enough street smarts to win. I hope you find this book as captivating as I did.
I received the book from Netgallery for review purposes. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.
