The Art of Exile

LEGENDBORN meets THE DA VINCI CODE in this captivating contemporary fantasy! THE ART OF EXILE follows Ada, a teen girl who infiltrates a secret school for the descendants of exiled Renaissance masters to steal their long-lost arts and sciences, and must suppress her growing feelings for her mentor while faking a relationship with her nemesis—who is as handsome as he is deadly—to prevent her theft from reigniting a centuries-old inquisition.
