In the fog-laden streets of Lindrad, Janis, a skilled assassin known for her stealth and precision, is accustomed to lurking in the shadows and eliminating targets without a second thought. But when a mysterious, scarred man offers her an unorthodox job—to protect rather than kill—she finds herself ensnared in a web of intrigue and danger she never expected.

Bound by a contract to safeguard Marric Norst, a name unfamiliar yet crucial to forces far greater than she can comprehend, Janis must navigate treacherous alliances and ruthless adversaries. As she delves deeper into this perilous mission, she uncovers secrets that challenge her understanding of duty, loyalty, and the true nature of her world.

Haunted by her own past and confronted with the enigmatic Watchlight, Janis must summon all her skills to keep Marric safe and unravel the mysteries that threaten to plunge Lindrad into chaos. But as shadows close in and enemies multiply, can she protect him—and herself—from the encroaching darkness?
