The Listener

Aela is a hunter. She practically grew up in the woods, surrounded by the pristine white snow, the icy air, and the enormous deer of Skyrim. But as she grows, she finds that her native land is not nearly as efficient in satisfying her hunger for game as it used to be. So on a whim, she travels to Cyrodiil, the heart of the Empire to try for a new life, craving the hunt more than she’s ever had. But one fateful night, her thirst proves too strong for her to control and what ensues will change her life forever.
Now involved with the horribly dangerous guild of assassins called The Dark Brotherhood, Aela can't help the feelings she begins to develop for the mysterious and terrifying Lucien LaChance; one of the most highly respected speakers of the Black Hand. And LaChance can do nothing but share the same feelings back. But just as they surrender to a passion that transcends their forevermore dissatisfied hungers, a force unknown sets in motion one of the most vital stages of it’s elaborately designed plan; a plan that has the power to tear The Dark Brotherhood apart piece by piece.
And could very well prove deadly for both of them.
