Poor, blind Erye who lost her father, that's what they all say. But then Amias Swallow showed up at her doorstep, telling her she'd been accepted into a school that her father had attended. Amias forgot to mention it was a school of dragons. Rayna is a young assassin. She knows she was in a plane crash, but the king of assassins, Kugen Tari, saved her and trained her. But when she's sent on a questionable mission, she begins to doubt if the assassins are saviors or monsters. Azariah has only ever tried to protect Rayna. When he helped recruit her. When he stopped the other assassins from picking on her. She had no clue. Trying to protect her has only gotten harder as a group of rogue assassins begin to overthrow Kugen Tari, and they'll kill anyone who gets in their way.
