Little Cat

This is the story of Akiko, a tiny Moon Elf of the Assassin Guild, who is one of five sent to kill the King and Princes of the Kingdom of Nivava. Akiko is a singularly bad assassin, and ends up saving the Prince and the Princess. Akiko is captured, and taken as a prisoner to the Kingdom of Adhara. Abandoned by the Guild, an outcast marked by blue eyes and tartans, and bound to a wagon wheel at night, she has not a friend in the world.
Or does she? The wizard accompanying the group declares that she does have friends-strange friends that are unknown to her. And what of the astonishing tales the wizard tells-of the Endunnlin, secret, solitary warriors who fight the elves? And who is Micah, a man they encounter along the road? Is he a wizard? Was he waiting for them? Does he mean to harm the Prince and the Princess? Is he an outrider for the dark armies of elves and men who are gathering in the east? And what of the dragons? Are they friend or foe, and do they even exist?
