Om denne e-boken
The full origin story of Gin Blanco’s transformation into the fearsome assassin known as the Spider—from the bestselling author of Heart of Venom.
How did I end up in a career where I always have blood on my hands? Well, let me tell you a story about an assassin who thought she could do no wrong . . .
Ten years ago. A blistering hot August night. I remember like it was yesterday. The night I, Gin Blanco, truly became the Spider. Killing people is what I do best, especially now that I’ve honed my Ice and Stone magic. But back then, I had yet to learn one very important rule: arrogance will get you, every single time.
This particular job seemed simple: murder a crooked building contractor with ties to ruthless Fire elemental Mab Monroe. My mentor, Fletcher Lane, had some misgivings, but I was certain that I had the situation under control . . . right up until I exposed my weaknesses to a merciless opponent who exploited every single one of them. There’s a reason assassins aren’t supposed to feel anything. Luckily, a knife to the heart can fix that problem, especially when I’m the one wielding it . . .
“An amazing ride . . . The Spider made me fall in love with Gin all over again.” —All Things Urban Fantasy
“Estep did a great job of having a younger, more naïve, and a less patient Gin come across the page.” —Vampire Book Club
“I was tremendously satisfied and as anxious as ever for more from Ashland’s greatest (semi-retired) assassin.” —Smexy Books
