Prologue

With a war and an orcish horde looming over the Realm of Faen, Arianna's not keen to stay and watch it fall. One last job that sees anyone die for the right price, and she's gone.

Her reputation for her swords brings her to the attention of Lord Sadron Aldaos--and the price tag fit for a king on the life of Lady Yara Rololinde.

It seems straightforward: One last job, one last life, get paid, get out. But bitter house rivalries lay hidden behind the perfect faces of Faen's politicians, and Arianna soon finds herself caught in a game of revenge spanning the years, where the wrong information can get the wrong people killed.

'One last job' has never been so complicated.
