Life has a strange way of having people meet. At least, that's what I have learned very early on. But, if I'm going to tell this story right, I have to start from the beginning. The very beginning.
My name is Tessa Ainesworth and I am the great-great-great-great granddaughter of Thaddeus Ainesworth, who was known as a great sailor of the seven seas during his time and had also helped with the exploration of the deep sea. He was a humble Irishman who had eventually settled down in the United States after retiring from the seas. At least, that's what everyone in the Ainesworth family believes. It's all a lie. Yes, Thaddeus was a great sailor, but he wasn't just a sailor... he was a pirate. You heard me right, he was a swashbuckling, no good pirate. Good ol' Thaddeus stole from just about anyone he got his sights on, and just one time, he stole from the wrong person. You see, that person he stole from? His great-great grandson would go on to form the Brotherhood of Assassins, and he was the most ruthless one of them all. So, for years, many assassins tried to track down my great-great-great-great grandpappy Thaddeus, but to no avail, as to when they finally found him, he was already six feet under, buried with his lies. And thus, after his death, the assassins started targeting the Ainesworth family, looking for someone to pay for Thaddeus' infidelity. But they never succeeded, each member they targeted either disappeared or died shortly, and that is where my story begins... as I am the new target of the Brotherhood. All because of a lie.
