Girton Club-foot is no ordinary assassin. Crippled at birth and raised in shadows, he has spent his life learning to kill. But his newest mission is a far stranger task—save a life instead of taking one.
The target is the heir to the throne. Someone wants the prince dead, and civil war is already whispering through the halls of Castle Maniyadoc. Disguised as a noble’s son, Girton must uncover the traitor and stop the assassination before the entire kingdom fractures.
Surrounded by ruthless nobles, ancient magic, and secrets that stretch beyond the walls of the court, Girton must navigate loyalty, friendship, and the burden of truth.
In this assassin’s game, every move is deadly. And saving a life might just cost him his own.
