Two worlds turn in tandem in the royal city of Asterliegh. On one side is the assassin Inkblot: Sold as a slave at the age of four, she is adopted by McCauely McAllister, head of the influential Weaver's Guild. Taking lives with her signature ink-base poisons, she takes solace in her gift for appraising the exact worth of a life - down to the last silver. On the other side is Prince Shaun Asterliegh: Orphaned at thirteen, he finds himself head of the royal police while his half brother assumes the crown. Slowly, he succumbs to the consuming hatred of the criminals that killed his father. But as time turns on, the mad dogs of Asterliegh begin to tear out throats. Shaun's brother Jim begins a slow descent into madness while a brutal McAllister expands Weaver influence. Even Shaun and Inkblot must guard their sanity as it becomes clear that no one can escape McAllister's web.Two worlds turn in tandem in the royal city of Asterliegh. The only thing holding them together - the thing which could topple them both - is the ink.
