That Which Binds

In a world of assassins, there is a city divided into two circles. The Low Circle, known more commonly as Silicen, is the home of the Assassins' Guild, a powerful underworld organization that holds influence over both circles from the shadows. The High Circle, or Hana, is the home of opulent architecture and expensive knives used to stab others in the back.

When the Guild forms a team of the elite for an assassination of a powerful Hana politician, the tenuous relationship between the two circles is threatened.

A child prodigy who has only ever been told that he is a weapon. A former high-ranking assassin who managed to escape once but came back for reasons unknown. A poisons expert who will do anything to protect his siblings. A technological genius who keeps his cards to his chest under a veil of sarcasm and humor. A femme fatale who wants nothing more than to reunite with her sister. An exiled Hana assassin who wants nothing to do with the Guild, but still takes their orders.

A group of six killers try to navigate politics, friendship, and betrayal-- with quite a few murders along the way.
