The Child Called Assassin takes place in a fantasy world, where the Wild Clans battle against a tyrannical Emperor on a daily basis, people are killed for speaking the wrong words, and children with mage power either serve the Emperor-or die. Kate, unusual among the Empire with her blond hair and blue eyes (not to mention a power that she must hide at all costs), is one of these mage-gifted children. But as she serves the Emperor, she begins to realize that there is a lot more going on than meets the eye; both with her past, and the Empire itself. Maybe there's more to the clans than she had thought?
