He was trained to obey. But some oaths deserve to be broken.

Tavin Rivenhart—the Echo—is the most feared assassin in Valeir. For the right price, the Silent Oath Guild sends him to end lives with perfect precision. But Tavin has a secret: he always asks why.

Now hunted by his own guild, Tavin must decide: fulfill his deadly oath—or protect the only hope of breaking the chains that bind them all.

Some bindings are written in blood. Others, in justice.
