Being a form-shifting assassin is useful when you have a limitless price on your head.
Screft has stolen secrets from the planet Nastrophen that could change worlds. Once a ‘True Kendrii’ - the highest honour in the planet’s army, he’s now on the run and hiding on neighbouring Carnathia. He’s promised himself he’s done with killing and can lead a better life, but he’s not done with fighting. Pretending to be the wayward son of a powerful senator, he’s pulling a pro-league fighting scam to fund the research that might fix him as a human permanently.
Screft is not above suspicion though. Can he really hide as a human forever, and understand human kind? Can he really stop killing people to survive?
When he meets Oscar, a former fleet pilot with disgrace in his past, he believes he’s found the companion who might help him win against the world. But if Oscar finds out what Screft really is, there could be more lives at stake than just their own.
