An assassin has escaped from Castle Araluen's highest security cell. Only one thing is on his mind... Revenge... An eye for an eye. A life for a life. A son for a son... Disclaimer: Most of these characters are John Flanagan's. I only own the plot and the characters I added.

But she has sworn to her father, the mysterious Ranger, that she will not give away that information until the time is right.
