About

John Locke is the perfect assassin. Silent. Efficient. Invisible. Nurtured in the Brotherhood, which moves about in shadows and writes the destiny of kingdoms, John Locke has spent his entire life fulfilling contracts unquestioningly. For him, a contract is just another name, and a kill is just another task to be done. But when the mission starts showing the cracks in all he knows about the world, Locke realizes that things were not as easy as they seemed at first. Following his targets, Locke starts realizing that the reach of the Brotherhood is far larger than he had ever realized before. And the contracts he has to complete and the enemies that have to be eliminated are not just randomly chosen. They are linked somehow to a truth hidden behind the layers of the Brotherhood. To a truth, which could also be the truth about Locke's own lost memories. Haunted by bits and pieces of a life he doesn't remember and the horrific ability called Crimson State, John Locke begins to wonder whether he really controls his own knife or he himself is being controlled. Because the greatest threat to the world may not be the enemies he is ordered to kill... It may be the assassin he is becoming.
