I am Rafe Holloway. Professional assassin—well, technically. The Guild took me in out of sheer pity, and my career has been a long, glorious streak of not dying. My latest job? Take out the King of Veridia. Simple. Except the “king” is actually a queen in disguise, the royal guard wants my head, and a demon goose is still after me. Now, I'm stuck in a mess of secrets, politics, and sharp objects. But hey, if I survive this, maybe I'll finally earn some respect. Or at least a snack.
