Assassins are people to be feared, no doubt. But what do assassins fear? What do they dream of? What life, what world, are they longing to achieve with their actions? Is the killing just a job or is there some deeper motivation that drives them? And what happens when it all goes wrong?

In the Assassins' Canon anthology, Ken Goldman, S.C. Hayden, Camille Alexa, Michael Amos, Karla Cruz, Jason Franks, and others, explore the full gamut of would-be killers. Gangsters, henchmen, soldiers, newly-weds, the reluctant, the willing, the skilled and the novice, all contemplate the deed and, for better or worse, all must bear the consequences of their choice.
