An assassin possesses no greater skill than outsmarting one’s enemies.
With a significant threat now neutralized, the Nameless Assassin focuses on the real enemy, the Holy Knights of Warding. However, the Warders are deeply entrenched, their alliances with Alchester’s power brokers a formidable obstacle that leaves the Assassin Without a Name unable to act alone.
Once, a coalition of thieves, scientists, death priests, and King’s inspectors seemed the most implausible collaborators. Yet desperation breeds unlikely allies, and it will take them all to unravel the carefully laid plans of the Warder Primus before the Unifying Convergence becomes a reality.
If he hopes to succeed, the Nameless Assassin must join his lethal talents with the unique abilities of his diverse companions, forging a tenuous alliance amid clashing motives and hidden agendas. With Alchester’s fate hanging in the balance, the stakes have never been higher.
With treachery and ancient secrets lurking around every corner, only an assassin’s skill can navigate the perilous game of power threatening to consume them all.
