An assassin possesses no greater skill than outsmarting one's enemies. The Holy Knights of Warding stand above all other threats, their influence reaching far beyond their honorable façade.
Deeply entrenched in Alchester's halls of power, these stoic fanatics have created a web of alliances that even the infamous Assassin Without a Name cannot untangle alone. Once, a coalition of thieves, scientists, death priests, and King's officers 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.
When treachery and ancient secrets lurk around every corner, only an assassin's skill can navigate the perilous game of power threatening to consume them all.
