Well, let me tell you a story about an assassin who thought she could do no wrong. . . .  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTen 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis 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. . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eEstep, Jennifer:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Jennifer Estep is a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eUSA Today \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author prowling the streets of her imagination in search of her next fantasy idea. \u003ci\u003eSpider's Bite, Web of Lies, Venom, Tangled Threads, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eSpider's Revenge, By a Thread, Widow's Web, Deadly Sting, Heart of Venom\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Spider, Poison Promise, Black Widow, Spider's Trap, Bitter Bite, Unraveled, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eSnared, \u003c\/i\u003ealong with the e-shorts \u003ci\u003eThread of Death, Parlor Tricks, Kiss of Venom\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUnwanted, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Nice Guys Bite\u003c\/i\u003e are the other works in her red-hot Elemental Assassin\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eurban fantasy series.
