Assassin

The twin planets of Sykana and Carunos existed once in harmony. But that was a long time ago, and ever since a skirmish at a remote outpost in space, they have fought the 'Subtle War'. A war without armies, and where the fighting takes place inside the corridors of power. The Greaters must watch their step for trained killers lurk in the shadows.

For one Sykanian boy, the battle was just about to begin. Zan was a hungry pauper, forced into a life of thievery by a childhood tragedy. But the protection of a secret he holds dear leads to an intriguing invitation that could change his life forever.

Having to trust his instincts, and desperate for a cure to a terrible disease that has ravaged the galaxy for thousands of years, he embarks on a journey that has the power to release long held desires. But can they be controlled?

Followed by sinister cloaks that are somehow familiar, Zan must battle his own demons and piece together the remnants of his memory in order to determine who to trust. As he delves deeper, he begins to question what is real, and just how much of his life has really been by accident.
