"The queen hires Huntsman to do her bidding. Bloodshed."
In a kingdom plagued by a sinister queen, men of lowly stature are chosen to be her personal assassins.
"She has had innocent blood spilled for mere personal matters. Her boundaries are hardly limited."
Anyone who defies her is publicly executed as a warning to all that no one defies Her Majesty. No one.
"There is no avoiding it once you've been chosen to be a Huntsman. The only way to escape it is to run."
But will running put Abram in more trouble than it's worth?
