The Javelin should have been the sort of assassin other killers looked up to.

Krivi san Kosare has the fickle trust of the Crown, a weighty title of his own, and the Reach, a power so extraordinary that even Krivi’s victims would swear it couldn’t exist until the moment it kills them. But few look up to the Javelin, and even his royal friends have grown tired of his mistakes.

Dispatched to the far reaches of the kingdom to eradicate the head of a dangerous rebellion, Krivi is determined to atone for his failures. He will see this “Scholar” slain, return home to bask in the honor he deserves, and prove himself once more to the Crown.

Or at least that was the plan…

When Krivi stumbles on the first new Reacher in a generation, he discovers not only a little girl with power enough to shake the world, but a child enamored with the very rebels he’s been sent to see destroyed. Finding himself torn between developing the girl’s miraculous powers and his duty, Krivi slowly starts to uncover a web of lies and betrayal woven among those he’s always trusted the most.

But the Javelin has been broken before, and he knows well that revenge can heal the greatest of wounds.
