{Note that, true to its title, this story will have some rather brutal scenes and violence.} Beware the assassin. She may fool you, she may tame you, she may even like you. But in the end, she will still kill you. ++++ Locked deep in the dungeons of the kingdom of Helios... ... There is a dark, dangerous creature. They call her the Shadow Assassin. The most feared creature in all of the four kingdoms. But she hides a secret that could destroy them all. She hides their fates and their deaths. She hides the downfall of their world. A bored prince brings her out of prison, thinking her to be his entertainment, his amusement, against the wisdom of his High Advisor. But with the angry son of the captain of the guards thrown into the battle, everything becomes far more dangerous. This is not a child's tale. This is not a story. This is a tale as old as time about the treacheries and dangers of trusting somebody who has a heart colder than ice itself.

As much as it pains her to admit it.... He was cool.
