A simple mission, a web of lies. Infiltrate the keep, remain unseen, leave only a corpse. For Gillis and Amelia, two of the Mordenari's most trusted assassins, it should have been a routine job. A little bloody, sure, but nothing they couldn't handle. But Amelia has other plans, an old score to settle, and her deception—should her employers learn the truth—could mean a short trip on a rope for both of them. With no one left to trust in a world consumed by murder and deceit, Gillis and Amelia know they're both only a single step ahead of the grave.
