The king is dead. They say sickness took him, but the truth walks within the castle walls and lingers in dark corners. The truth carries a knife.

Florian Desrosiers has finally escaped his old life of deception and conspiracy, but the cost is almost too much to bear. He now lives on the run, and the future is a question better left unasked, the past an unkillable beast.
Then he meets the Rosewoods. They are the crown's secret weapon against infiltration, and they know about the blood on his hands. They give Florian a choice: take the death sentence he deserves, or risk it all to catch an assassin that most say doesn't exist.

Decades-old secrets crawl into the light and lies grow like weeds. But the truth never hides itself for long.
