Veils and Vipers

He's a young witty starship commander with eyes set on power, but with power, comes prices.
*****

The commander of a training assassin team, Tobias is eager to reach the top of the ranks. Every card is played right until the deck up his sleeve is scattered after his best friend is murdered in training.

Tobias finds himself investigating further, but when he sticks his nose in too deep, trouble grabs him. Now alone after a daring escape leading into a crash, he's at the beginning once more, except this time on a green planet of secrets. Tobias is the prey, and his predators are searching hungrily for him. What will the ex-commander do when he meets another like him; stuck at the bottom, with only the sky to reach and everything to run from?

"Revenge tastes so sweet after you've waited eagerly for it, wouldn't you say?"
