Cool and efficient, she’s a weapon of war superbly trained in the ancient arts of subterfuge and murder. And even though she’s outnumbered, she’s got one major advantage: No one knows she’s coming.

"Ingenious.... A solid, satisfying treat for the armchair historian." - Kirkus Reviews.
"An exciting thriller that rings so true it's difficult to tell where fact ends and fiction begins. Robbins is a master--at the top of his game with this one."--Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Templar Legacy.
