A teenage assassin. An impossible choice. The fate of everything hangs in the balance...

Be good, or the death wardens will come for you. Walls cannot stop them. Blades cannot cut them. They will track you down, and when they find you, they will steal your soul. Reen thought they were only stories meant to scare children.

Then she became one.

Divinely selected to assassinate a few for the good of the many, Reen learns to jump from shadow to shadow and claim her victims without question. For a time, she even finds a sense of family amongst the Haven Isles' most adept killers -- something she's never had before -- though none of them can protect her from the parade of victims that haunt her dreams. If only the nightmares were the worst of her problems.

Someone is hunting God's killers, and an ancient evil has returned, slowly turning the Isles' inhabitants into nightmarish creatures. Fighting to stay alive and protect those around her, Reen's faith is tested as her quest for answers uncovers sinister secrets that shake the foundation of everything she believes until all that remains is the edge of her knife and the certainty that death comes for all.

Can Reen stop the evil before it spreads beyond their borders and overwhelms the world?

Death Warden is an exhilarating YA fantasy. If you like strong heroines, vivid world building, and dark secrets, then you'll love C.J. Stilling's imaginative tale.
