A future Master Assassin rises to take her place in the ranks of the Hidden Ones

Cairo, 824—In the bowels of prison, escape is out of the question. The best Roshan can hope for is a quick death. She certainly doesn’t expect a second chance offered by a cloaked stranger who says Roshan is exactly what they need:

Someone who can disappear, who will do what needs to be done, someone expendable …

Granted her freedom, Roshan joins a crew of shady figures assembled to steal a mysterious object being transported along the Silk Road towards Persia. Roshan’s otherworldly intuition proves vital as she fights to stay one step ahead of her backstabbing gang and survive the mission.

For her employer holds the key to a world she can’t begin to fathom: a world she might have been destined for all along.
