But after a failed assassination attempt, the binding on Kal is removed, releasing him from its thrall. Access to his memories and magical abilities return, leaving him confused and in pain.
Assassins want him dead. His handler wants him to kill. The king is facing a strange illness, destabilizing the city. And mage-born youths are disappearing.
Can he find the children, discover who wants him dead, and protect the king on his terms? Or will he be forced to compromise his beliefs once more in the name of the crown?
