Amaranthe is a low level enforcer in the imperial capital. Most women go into business; few pursue a martial career, and so Amaranthe is viewed with suspicion and derision by her colleagues. Then she impresses the emperor in a chance encounter, and soon the head of police gives her a special assignment: to kill the deadly assassin Sicarius. If she succeeds, she's guaranteed a promotion. But chances are, she'll die in the attempt...

This was a fabulous adventure, with double crosses, quick thinkin
