The Coven of the Nameless is a brotherhood of assassins, mercenaries, and spies living on the border of the Eternal Realm. Regarding themselves above the ordinary people of the realm, and, therefore, its protector, they recruit orphaned, vulnerable, or otherwise lost children at the most impressionable age. Stripping them of their names, the Nameless subject these children to rigorous training and self-discipline until the day they are given a title-a title that describes their essence. To most, it is an honor. To some, it is a painful reminder that they are forgotten.The Tigress has always been the latter. A well-respected and sought-after assassin, The Tigress never fails to mention she doesn't have a name, but a title. Found by the Nameless when she was no older than four, she was raised and trained to kill. Now, after almost twenty years, she travels the realm moving from contract to contract successfully. However, she wants only one thing-to find out the truth about her past. With nothing more than a handed-down necklace and dreams of a horrific event to guide her, she feels there is something that the coven has failed to tell her about who she is and where she came from. With war looming on the horizon and a prophecy on the verge of being fulfilled, The Tigress learns that the truth only raises more questions.
