In a world where kingdoms rise through bloodshed, ancient magic shapes the fate of nations, and creatures of legend walk among men, death is more than a threat. For some, it's a profession.

They are known as the Murder Men—a feared collective of assassins whose services can be bought, but whose loyalty comes at a price.

When a ruthless king condemns a young woman to the notorious Houses of Heaven, her desperate father turns to the very life he once abandoned. A former assassin who traded his weapons for the priesthood, he seeks the help of an old comrade: Hamilcar, a formidable Mammoth-Man whose reputation is as fearsome as his appearance.

But rescuing one woman from the clutches of a king is no ordinary contract. With fragile alliances, royal ambitions, and the threat of war hanging over the mission, even the Murder Men must consider the price of defying a crown.

And as old loyalties are tested and enemies emerge from unexpected places, a mission undertaken for money threatens to unleash consequences far beyond the borders of any kingdom.

In a world where everything has a price, even salvation must be bought.
