Lucien Sargant, newly promoted to orator in The Shadow Order, a guild of assassins, is on a mission to unmask the traitor who murdered his predecessor. But as the shadows close in, he learns that even the sharpest blade cannot cut through the darkness alone.

Caia Laisea, the obedient daughter of one of the Order's High Priestesses, is forbidden from joining the Order. She yearns to carve her own path, and her fate takes a twist when Lucien grants her wish. Seeing a chance at freedom, she grasps it with both hands, unwittingly joining herself to the orator.

Together, they must uncover the traitor's identity before the Order collapses from within. In a world where trust is a luxury, Lucien and Caia's journey will test their resolve, their loyalty, and perhaps, even their very hearts.
