Book excerpt: Her family has been part of the most deadly assassin’s guild in all known universes since long before she was born. Her training has taken years, her whole life.

Behind the scenes there is turmoil within the guild. A change is coming. And when Scribe learns the truth, she only hopes she can survive.
