City of Whispers
Imperial Assassin Book 1
by Katt Powers
Genre: Epic Adventure Fantasy
A disgraced assassin. A sinister plot. Will her one shot at redemption
send her to the grave?
Dhani Karim is furious. Wrongfully expelled from the Imperial Assassins,
the snarky killer is forced into a lowly unranked position in a remote
desert colony, working with a guy who’s clearly damaged goods. And when
they barely survive an attack on what should have been a routine
assignment, she fears clearing her name could cost her life.
Struggling to navigate a land where she’s the only person who can’t wield
magic, things get worse when she receives a death threat and her unwanted
partner vanishes. But when the clues lead to a violent cult, Dhani finds
herself in a race against time to stop a bloodbath that will consume
thousands of innocent lives.
Can she expose a deadly conspiracy before it causes a massacre?
City of Whispers is the thrilling first book in the Imperial Assassin fantasy
adventure series. If you like kickass heroines, high-octane action, and
off-the-charts snark, then you’ll love Katt Powers’ gritty tale.

After a time living in the NSW Southern Highlands, she worked as
an anthropologist in the Northern Territory for many years.
A decade ago, she retrained as an archaeologist specialising in human
remains and Aboriginal archaeology. She now works as a senior
archaeologist for a large ecology and heritage consultancy. She is of
Aboriginal descent and is deeply grateful to have spent over 20 years
protecting Aboriginal heritage.
She is currently writing two series:
The Imperial Assassin series follows the adventures of Dhani Karim, wrongly expelled from the
Imperial Assassins for a murder she didn’t commit. Demoted to a rankless
covert operative, she fights to prove her innocence and regain her place
in the Assassins.
The Children of Dust and Flame series involves Nimala Sirasena, a young woman forced to become
the Empire’s secret weapon to save her adopted family. Nimala must
overcome hate, prejudice and her own mysterious background if she’s to
succeed and save the people she loves.
Katt currently lives on 24 acres in the Murray-Mallee region of South
Australia with her husband, two very naughty dogs and lots of
prickles.
She does not like Vegemite and has never seen the movie Titanic.
