The Misbegotten

Astul, an infamous assassin with a woeful reputation, has a king slayer to cut down. There's just one problem. This king slayer's trail leads to a cache of disturbing secrets involving insane kings and mad queens and kingdoms suddenly hungry for war. People seem forfeiting their minds. Astul has seen this before, minds rebelling against their owners. He just never expected to see it again. But he soon learns death is sometimes a myth and the occult still lingers in his world. Well, his world for now. Ownership of it, along with his mind, is about to be transferred.
