My favorite of The Assassin's Blade novellas so far! So many interesting characters were added to the series in this novella, must notable being the leader of the Mute Assassins and Ansel. I am looking forward to seeing how they come back into the storyline later on in the series. I cannot wait to continue reading these novellas. I'm excited to see the relationship with Sam further develop but also so very sad since I know how it will end.
