54 Phần Hoàn tất Things aren't going too well in the kingdom of Gushénn. The very oasis it's built upon is drying up, the border conflicts with the savages are becoming worse, and the royal family is starting to fall apart. And, to make matters worse, an elite group of anarchists has joined forces to kill King Vincent and steal his throne.
Against her will, the infamous assassin Alister finds herself in the thick of things. She trained for her entire life to become the perfect human weapon, able to kill a man a dozen ways without batting an eye. The entire life that she's built for herself starts to crumble, however, as she's blackmailed into banding with the anarchists.
But Rose Alister isn't as immoral as she seems. Even as an angel of death, she still finds that there are limits to what she is willing to do for money. Because of that, her loyalty and support for Prince James--the king's unappreciated and unstable younger son--become her greatest hindrance and her most crippling dilemma. For the first time in her life, she cannot bring herself to kill without remorse.
As the anarchy plot within the kingdom thickens, assassin and prince come together. It's up to them to decide whether the kingdom is worth saving, even as they are forced to determine if they can first save themselves. Faced with a multitude of conflicts, Rose and James must put pride aside and learn to work together. But how can two clashing personalities hope to join forces and fix themselves, let alone mend a crumbling kingdom?
