An assassin's job in the kingdom of Aurilei is outlawed, therefore, illegal. More bodies keep showing up, influential people who have sway with the king.
The Captain of the Guard, Leo, leads the guards in their work, and is a perfect example of a model citizen. Or is he?
The King hires an assassin, Alix Riveril, to be his own personal butcher, for anyone he saw fit. She has experience, years of practice, and he needs someone to do his dirty work.
But Alix, she has secrets, and things long since hidden that Leo starts to uncover.
When the King turns up dead, and Alix is the main suspect, Leo has to prove her innocence, a hefty task that neither of them can fully understand. And once a mysterious mark appears on Alix's side, everything changes
What could Alix be hiding? What could Leo do to her?
An empath, an assassin, and one thing in common.
Willing to do anything, to stay alive.
