The Assassin's Task Backfired

The Assassin's Task is a humorous high-fantasy tale that explores the fragility of a "legendary reputation." It follows Sheng, a world-class assassin and "King-Slayer" from the War of Oblivion, who is currently on a much-needed holiday with his war-comrades: a stoic, honorable Knight, a brilliant but mischievous Mage, and eventually Bob (the naive Priest). ​The conflict arises when Sheng attempts to perform a simple "professional task"—securing a CG (communication gem) number for an Elven information broker named Sylvia. Instead of doing it himself, he delegates the job to a loud-mouthed dwarf. The result is a social nuclear meltdown that turns the world's most feared ghost into a public laughingstock.​Sheng is a master of the "High Paths," a world-class King-Slayer who has survived the War of Oblivion. He is the ghost of the battlefield, a man whose very name inspires silence. But even the world's most feared assassin needs a holiday. ​While traveling with his unlikely war-comrades—a stoic Knight, a mischievous Mage, and a naive Priest—Sheng attempts a simple "professional task": securing a communication gem number for an Elven information broker. ​He makes one fatal mistake: he sends a dwarf to do it. ​What follows is a social nuclear meltdown that threatens Sheng's reputation more than any blade ever could. In this humorous high-fantasy tale, Sheng learns that while you can assassinate a king, you can’t assassinate a rumor—especially when a dwarf is standing on a table shouting your name.
