Summary
The life of an assassin does not allow the dangerous luxuries of friendship and love. But the threads of fate are not subject to the whims of mortals, and sometimes, the price for happiness must be paid in blood.
Nys Veraci, street rat turned nobleman and skilled assassin for the Order of the Silver Serpent, is used to the emotional isolation that his duty demands. Halen Tanae, cousin and adviser to the king of Berendra, is resigned to the empty, frivolous life at Court. A chance meeting between the two should have never been anything more than that, but some things are just destined to be, for better or for worse.
