For three hundred years, the Assassin's Guild has built up power, wealth, and a ruthless reputation under the leadership of the Berains. When the Duke of Sitar moves to rid Corellith of the heir to the human throne so his son will be king, he hires the head of the Guild himself to dispatch the child. At twenty-five, Artearis Berain has already gained a bloody reputation, one he didn't deserve or want. If he kills the boy, he becomes the monster everyone believes he is. If he doesn't, Geylas will dispatch others to kill the boy, making him just as responsible. If he fails, Geylas has promised to bring down the Guild, including those that look to him, not just the Guild, for leadership. Jekan Geylas's ambition has forced his hand. He must choose between continuing the family legacy he despises or risk everything to forge his own destiny.
