A thief, a mercenary, a hero? Running from the past is easy, or at least that's what Talon thought before being dragged into a world much bigger than just his own. A simple contract, kill a monster terrorising the city of Mirabel. That was the simple task the noble family had given their mercenaries. That was the task he agreed to. Dragged from the comfort of the shadows, this common thief was about to uncover a conspiracy that reached as far as the crown could influence. Now stuck with a ragtag team of unlikely allies and forced to confront his painful past, this once lone wolf must become the very thing he despises in order to save a group of orphans from a fate like his. Talon must become a hero.
