About this ebook
Vyder Ironstone is an assassin with a troubled past. At the order of his king, Vyder must undertake his most dangerous mission yet. A mission from which he may never return.
If he is successful, it might just be enough to alleviate war tearing the kingdom apart.
The prospect of failure is not worth considering.
