  Eighteen years old, Caina Amalas is a
  
  
  novice nightfighter of the Ghosts, the spies and assassins of the
  
  
  Emperor of Nighmar. Skilled with stealth and disguise, Caina is the
  
  
  unseen agent of the Emperor, working to maintain the peace and
  
  
  order of the Empire.
  
  
  When a scholar uncovers an ancient relic
  
  
  from the Empire's distant past, he unwittingly unearths dangerous
  
  
  secrets.
  
  
  Secrets that might destroy the Empire and
  
  
  kill Caina...
