In the mighty Solvaria Empire, ruled by the powerful Emperor Lucaris Asterion Solaris, peace is maintained through strength-and fear.
But in the shadows of the forgotten Kingdom of Norvale, the secret assassin guild known as The Hollow Veil raises weapons instead of children. Among them is their deadliest creation: Ravielle, the Black Raven-an assassin who has never failed a mission.
Her next order is simple: infiltrate the imperial palace as an Imperial Knight and assassinate the emperor.
Disguised as Rave, Ravielle enters the palace through the annual Knight Selection Trial, expecting another clean mission. But Emperor Lucaris is not what she expected. Cold, yet kind. Powerful, yet lonely.
As she gets closer to her target, Ravielle begins to feel something she was never taught to understand-trust, warmth, and love. Now, she is torn between her mission and her heart.
Kill the emperor... or betray the only person who ever made her feel human.
