My mother named me Raziel—‘Hidden Truth’ in the old tongue. Did she know what hidden destiny awaits me in this goddess-forsaken empire of forbidden magic and deadly intrigue?
The secrets of her past remain beyond my reach, shared only by Admon himself. Even then, she never trusted him with everything.
Surely, she must have known. A spy for a mother. An assassin for a guardian...
What else could I possibly become?
Follow Raziel as he starts his journey to become a legend of the empire in this first short novel of the vividly-rendered Fatal Empire series by the author of the World of Lasniniar series, Jacquelyn Smith.
