Constantly ground down by the apathetic nobility and their tax collectors, Samel is close to admitting defeat. Until he meets Joren, the assassin. Desperate to rid himself of debts, and finance a cure for his mother, Samel apprentices under the brutal tutelage of Joren, learning the trade of murder. But each decision comes with a price. Little does he know how much the consequences of his decisions could cost him, but the world he finds is extraordinary.

From the Inside Flap

Samel knew it was not that difficult to snuff out the life of a man. For someone skilled, it required as much thought as blowing out a candle. But, just like snuffing a candle, the effort, the skill was not in extinguishing the flame so much as not being caught with the wax on your fingers.
