'I don't know why, but I've always be fascinated by death. Not what comes after, or the bodies themselves (though I find that blood leaves great color in paint), but the method of simply removing the life from a body. It can be a brutal blow to the head, spraying blood and veins everywhere; it can be a singular droplet of poison in a cake mix, leaving an orchard of bodies behind. It's an art, killing. It's beautiful'. Raven Persephone De La Mariella is the daughter of the most powerful assassin in the world. Raised to kill, she is to inherit the power of an army, nearly a quarter of the size of the King's, but 10 times as powerful. But when some of the assassins seem to disagree with a women leading them, she decides to prove herself; she decides to kill the Boy-King. But, when a undercover job turns Raven knows on it's head, is love more beautiful then death?
