Exciting Moment

     The book that I'm reading is "Midnight Thief" by: Livia Blackburne. The main character Kyra is a sixteen year old orphan in what seems in the 1900s. The most exciting part of the book is when she goes to the headquarters of The Assassin Guild to get Clearberry Juice; which is a deadly poison. Kyra made a plan to take her ex-boss' poison and use it against him (James). Unfortunately, she gets caught and James strikes her with a knife. He "apologizes", then leaves her be taken away by The Demon Riders. Kyra wakes up in the forest and meets a man and a woman. The woman turns into a wildcat--the barbarians,--and it scares Kyra. She tries to struggle, but the man holds her down by the shoulders. Later, when she regain consciousness, the woman introduces herself as Pashla. She is a shapeshifter, she can transform from human to cat, and apparently, Kyra has that blood in her too. Pashla explains to Kyra that she shares the same blood, but Kyra's is mixed with human blood and she was raised with humans. 

     While, in the Palace, Tristam of Brancel; a young knight, tries to help find Kyra, but Sir Willem says no. Before all this happened, Kyra was caught in the Palace trying to poison Sir Malikel--by the threat of James--and Tristam caught her prisoner. It was Kyra's idea to kill James, after she gained Sir Tristam and Sir Malikel's trust to do so. Now Tristam is trying to think of a plan to save Kyra from the barbarians.
