Publisher's Summary
Ryana, a worthless girl-child, is sold to a mysterious woman who takes her to the home of the Shadow Sisters who are prized for their abilities as spies and assassins. She survives years of training in spite of being unconventional: adopting poisonous bats as familiars - something no one else would dare to do; choosing the blow dart as her weapon of choice - a weapon the Sisters don't teach; and relying on intuition rather than logic.
As she completes her training, the Shadow Sisters are under attack. The senior Sister selects Ryana to find out who is killing Sisters and why - because her intuitive approach has proved effective, even though her youth and inexperience makes it unlikely she will survive.
As she travels through the kingdom as a member of a gypsy clan, she finds the only way she can protect the Sisters and hope to discover the underlying plot is through ever more violence and killing. As she proceeds through the provinces, her secret enemies come to call her the Sister of Death and become desperate to find and kill her. But in her desperate fight to protect the Sisterhood and the kingdom, Ryana fears that she has destroyed herself and the only life she ever wanted.

An Included book that totally enthralled me
I found this book in my included membership and downloaded it to listen to while I worked. What started as just something for background noise turned in to an enthralling story that hooked me in and had me paying more attention to the unfolding story then my work.

Training
Ryana is found starved and beaten by a Shadow Sister. The sister sees potential in Ryana and buys her.
She is trained to be a Shadow Sister, but Ryana is not conventional.
She is sent out to find out who is killing the sisters. She joins a gypsy caravan which proves to be a good cover.

awesome plotline
what a fast paced clever story. it was a little different from others in this genre and which gave it the uniqueness to make it interesting. it could be classified as a YA type book as their is no steam or swearwords.
however i still enjoyed the twists and political overtones in the plot. the heroine is very young but as this has mire books on the series, I'm wondering if the story develops as does she.
I'm normally a black ops and military romance reader with authors like kris michaels, riley Edwards and Susan stoker but this was refreshing with the same political and stealth based scenes as black ops but in a totally different setting.
Gabrielle was a first time listen for me and she did a wonderful job with all her different voice-overs...it brought the characters to life.
definitely enjoyed Ms Daems writing and will listen again.
