Assassins

Ten children taught themselves the ancient arts, unknowingly surpassing the greatest mages in the land. Then the wizards from the Academy came to town, but not on a recruitment mission. They were there to hunt rogue mages, and they suspect the children. Molly, Tanner and Liam lead their friends in search of the Bluebacks--a rebel force intent on overthrowing the empire. Not everyone is as they seem, and the newly formed fellowship find themselves faced with an impossible test to prove their loyalty. They're tasked with assassinating Baron Haman--the cousin of Prince Malachi, known in the city of Ashban as "the ratcatcher" for hunting down Bluebacks in the city. Will the Secret Seven join this war with an act of cold-blooded killing, or will they find another way to save Benny, their families and their lives?
