About SWORD OF THE SEVEN SINS:
From New York Times bestselling author Emily Colin comes a story of one young woman’s battle for freedom in a future world where love is the ultimate sin.
In a world ruled by the Seven Deadly Sins, their forbidden love could save them.
Or kill them.
Teenage tech prodigy Eva is resigned to a life of service to the Commonwealth, as long as it’s behind a computer screen. But to her horror, she’s Chosen to be an assassin instead. She’s eerily good at it…no thanks to her sarcastic and deadly mentor, Ari, who taunts her at every turn. When Eva finds herself falling for Ari, she knows she must avoid him at all costs. In the Commonwealth, love is a sin, and lust is a death sentence. But escaping Ari is impossible. As his apprentice, she’s bound to him by a blood oath.
A heated night in the woods reveals the truth: Ari has loved Eva for years. As their feelings grow, so does the threat of discovery—along with Eva’s mysterious abilities. When Ari uncovers a secret that could destroy their society, Eva must choose. Betray him and survive, or chase the slim hope of freedom with the boy she loves…knowing the price may be her life.
This young adult post-apocalyptic romance with wildly unexpected twists will appeal to readers of The Hunger Games, Divergent, and The Selection.
