The Assassin's Seven Principles of Manipulation

Zephyrion Calderalth was hailed as the greatest genius to ever grace the world.

Born into power, he was expected to rise above all and become the strongest Ascendant in existence.

Until the day everything shattered.

A sudden ambush stole the one person he cherished above all else… his mother.

In the aftermath, Zephyrion swore to uncover the truth. He joined the Order, a secretive organization that thrived in the shadows. For seven years, he endured their brutal training and bloodshed, forged into an elite assassin, a weapon… until he uncovered the truth.

Everything he had been led to believe was a lie.

Breaking free, Zephyrion returns to his former life as the second son of the prestigious House Calderalth; one of the empire’s ruling powers.

But home is no longer what he remembers.

The house has changed. New factions have risen. Enemies now lurk behind every smile, each vying for control.

Thrown into a ruthless battle for succession, Zephyrion must navigate a world of schemes, power struggles, and hidden agendas.

Armed with a calculating mind, lethal skill, and the principles his mother once taught him, he will manipulate, outmaneuver, and dismantle everything in his path.

Because in a world where everyone has an agenda…

The one who sees the most… controls everything.
