The eighth hotly anticipated book in the Elemental Assassin series by New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep: itâs Gin Blanco's partyâand youâll cry if she wants you to.
Red is definitely my color. Good thing, because in my line of work, I end up wearing it a lot.
Most people shy away from blood, but for an assassin like meâ Gin Blanco, aka the Spiderâitâs just part of the job. Still, it would be nice to get a night off, especially when Iâm attending the biggest gala event of the summer at Briartop, Ashlandâs fanciest art museum. But itâs just not meant to be. For this exhibition of my late nemesisâs priceless possessions is not only the place to be seen, but the place to be robbed and taken hostage at gunpoint as well. No sooner did I get my champagne than a bunch of the unluckiest thieves ever burst into the museum and started looting the place.
Unlucky why? Because I brought along a couple of knives in addition to my killer dress. Add these to my Ice and Stone magic, and nothing makes me happier than showing the bad guys why red really is my color.
