Lord Farrow's skill at killing is unequaled in the realm. What this assassin does in the shadows benefits all who live under his dominion. And so he continues, despite having to forfeit what other men have…a wife, children, an understanding confidante who truly listens. No one really knows Lord Farrow of Croftmore…
Save Mileth, the harbinger the king has ordered Farrow to eliminate, the peasant wench who makes her way in the world by truly hearing what those who are about to die have to say. She is a threat to the king all right…
A threat to Farrow too, for Mileth is the only woman Farrow has ever been close to, the only woman he might be able to let himself love. And now all who depend on him for their life depend on him to end hers.
