Science Fiction
At lastβCajeiri has his young guests from the starship, three young folk entranced by weather and trees and creatures with minds of their own. Itβs all he dreamed of... But now safety is foremost: Cajeiriβs grandfather has been assassinated, hostile Assassins Guild invaded Great- uncleβs house, and now Bren Cameron, paidhi-aiji, who was sent to keep the aijiβs son safe, has more than the young guests on his mind. The aiji-dowager knows whoβs to blame for the attacks, and theyβre going after him. The fact that the person responsible is in the heart of Assassinsβ Guild Headquarters, the most closely guarded fortress on the continent, is not going to stop her. Bren Cameron has the pieces now, of a decades-old plot thatβs been threaded through Guild actions going back before his arrival on the continent, and moreβhe knows the person responsible is going to find out he knows, and find out within hours. They have no choice. If they donβt move, the other side will. And the lives of the boy, the guests, the entire ruling family are at stake.
