Kylin is learning to embrace her new life. Her brother is safe, and she's found a new home with Wilhelm and Vala. Her beau might be an assassin, and that's hardly ideal, but she's trying to accept it.

A new mission puts Vala and Wilhelm on a dangerous path. They're captured by a prince, who manipulates the assassins and turns them into his personal puppets.

But that's not the worst part.

Wilhelm might not be Kylin's chosen after all...
