Raven (Assassin #1) | On Hold

"Everything dies eventually... we just speed up the process."
"By putting a bullet through their head?"
"Precisely, Reyna."

Life lessons from dad.

Only these aren't your everyday lessons... but then again, the Deryns aren't your everyday family. After all, why else would they teach their five children how to assemble a rifle in under three minutes?

Everything was fine, though.

At least until someone put a bullet through their father's skull, kidnapped their mother and somehow managed to cover their trail from some of the best assassins in the world of Loquin.
Not the easiest thing to do.

They made one fatal mistake, though.

They left the children alive.

Big no no.

Mummy and Daddy Deryn were assassins, you see, so why wouldn't their children be?

It's a family profession at the end of the day.

Only one problem. Seeing as how they don't have their Official Assassin Licences, they can't go out looking for their mother, and there's only one way to get it: Study at the fine institute dedicated to training the country's best, brightest, and most deadly assassins.

What could possibly go wrong?
