When the talk is about the best assassin family in the human continent, the Nightshade family comes at the very top. It was not some ancient family with a legacy stretching back through centuries; only a few decades had passed since its establishment.
Even then, it rose like a dark horse, leaving behind all the other guilds and families in the field of assassination, securing the top position for itself.
And the reason for this was simple.
Two individuals.
Victor Nightshade and Iris Nightshade.
Victor wielded the powers of Darkness and Time, while Iris commanded the shadows and the deadly art of poison. Together, the husband and wife became the backbone of the Nightshade family, their strength raising it to a height where no rival could reach.
