"Foolish Assassin, not even your tears can wash the stains of your sins." Scarlett Faye's youth was mercilessly torn from her the night of her parents' murder. For a young lady of noble background, there was nowhere to turn in a world of false promises and fabricated smiles. Bruised and battered, her innocence pouring red, the only way out was to follow a path of blood and shadows. And so she followed, walking as an apprentice in the bloodstained footsteps of the man who had rescued her that night, Badel's infamous King's Assassin, Dante Walker. Bound to the King of Badel, the two carry out his various assignments, eliminating threats that dared lurk about the Kingdom. When Thalan, a Kingdom to the North, begins its abhorrent and murderous ascent to power, seizing the rather valuable Elguvanose Islands, the Badel King resolves to dispatch Scarlett and Dante to stop them. For Scarlett, it was supposed to be just another mission, just another throat to slit, but Fate sought to play a dangerous game. And the first move has already been made.

Magic is a powerful yet fleeting thing. Those blessed with its presence are given a choice: to do good for their fellow man or to be corrupted. Tobias has neither magic nor the pressure of its power and has lived a peaceful, secluded life because of this. That is, before he stumbles across the key to power: a spellbook. Desperate to unlock its secrets, he accepts it as the promise of something greater. Until the day a thief snatches the book out from under him. In an effort to get it back, Tobias is thrust out into the dangerous world beyond the comfort of his home. Dragons, secrets, and wild magic lurk around every corner he turns, and he has no hope of catching the thief on his own. In order to reclaim his book and safely return home, Tobias must learn to adapt to the shifting world outside. But as he is joined by others who volunteer to aid him in his search for the thief, he realizes there's more to her than he thinks, and the spellbook is only the beginning.
