"You cheated," Harken accuses, it's more a statement than an accusation. My shoulders shrug, shifting the bandage on my right arm. "I'm an assassin." His face turns stoic, eyes darkening in frustration. "Fuck you." I turn to face him. Last night's events still linger in the air. "You could try." *** Mara is the Black City's heir and assasin. Known for her ruthlessness, accuracy, and political power she is untouchable in the Black City. Harken, the commander of the Red City's armies raised from a boy to be the perfect soldier and powerful magic wielder, he is untouchable in the Red City. So when Mara and Harken are forced to work together to survive the death sentence which is the Crimson Trials, they are forced to put their differences aside. But history is hard to forget, especially when it's bloody, and Mara hasn't forgotten the blood Harken has spilt, nor has he forgotten her. Born to be foes, forced to rise together Harken and Mara need to find a way to survive.
