Vale Callaghan lives her life as the most sought after assassin of Caelmoor when one day a nameless, faceless individual pays her a bigger fortune to kill a man already on death row. Since she's not exactly short on money as it is, Vale lets her curiosity gets the best of her and she helps the man escape prison instead. Together they set off on a detective adventure to find out why someone would want a petty thief dead so bad they'd pay someone so much to kill him before he could be executed.
