Except much has changed and his rival remains determined to set out on his own and gain in power. He warns the prince of the assassins hired to kill him led by none other than their greatest, the Assassin Lord Akranhor who's own past ties with another of Pentus's closest allies. Hoping to stop the threat before it can land and seeking answers, he heads out back into foreign lands swarmed with hostility.
