They say arrogance is a sin, but for Chandra, it will be her downfall.

Being the best assassin affords Chandra more benefits than her peers, but here is a point all allowances have to run out. And apparently, that point is a failed mission.

Now forced to train new recruits for the guild, she will do anything to succeed in her mission to help them pass. Not for their sake, but for the sake of her dream of running her own guild, the very dream her commander hangs over her head like a noose.

Will she succeed in her mission or will her arrogance blind her to the players manipulating her beneath the surface? She may be a good deceiver, but so are others, and if she isn't careful, Chandra may fall into the bloodiest deception of them all.
