assassins

A vampire librarian hunts down a secret organization.

"November is trapped. At the mysterious Academy Absconditi, a school that's completely off the grid, there's no electricity, no internet, and a brutal eye-for-an-eye punishment system. Classes include everything from knife-throwing and poisons to the art of deception. And the other students? All children of the world's most elite strategists, in training to become assassins, spies, and master manipulators. November Adley doesn't know why she's been sent to this place, or the secrets that make up its legacy, but she'll quickly discover that allies are few in a school where competition is everything. When another student is murdered, all eyes turn to November, who must figure out exactly how she fits in before she is found guilty of the crime...or becomes the killer's next victim"--OCLC.

Annith's worst fears are realized when she discovers that, despite her lifelong training to be an assassin, she is being groomed by the abbess as a Seeress, to be forever shut up in the convent of Saint Mortain.

"Koro Sensei's lessons in verbal defense are put to the test when Karma must use his brains instead of his brawn to rescue a classmate. Then things finally begin to go smoothly for the students of 3-E. Everyone receives some good news about their futures, and Nagisa settles on a career goal. But the peace is broken when the world's nations miraculously manage to coordinate their efforts long enough to launch a plan to assassinate Koro Sensei--with the aid of the strongest mercenary in the world and an ultimate weapon! Will anyone break ranks to protect everyone's favorite tentacled teacher?"--Provided by publisher.

"Nagisa and Karma travel to the International Space Station in hopes of learning the secret to saving Koro Sensei's life. Meanwhile, Yanagisawa and the upstart Grim reaper II train even harder to assassinate him. Then, when academic setbacks lower the spirits of his students, Koro Sensei comes up with an ingenious--or perhaps idiotic--way to cheer them up. Next, Valentine's Day arrives!

So Koro Sensei splits them into two teams, led by Nagisa and Karma, and has them battle it out.

Then, to uphold their now unified goal, they need to infiltrate the International Space Station..."--Back cover.

New light is shed not only on his character, but on the reason he vowed to destroy the Earth in March. Will these revelations change 3-E's commitment to assassinating their teacher (and saving the planet)?"--Back cover.
