A Game of Tsatsun — D.K. Holmberg

Hired by the thief-master Orly to only capture a slaver rather than kill, the assassin Galen quickly learns his target is more than a simple slaver. Orly has used him. Again. The job takes him deeper into the Eban underworld as he tries to understand how he's been used, and why his only friend in the city seems to know more than she should. Part 1 of The Binders Game, set in the world of The Dark Ability.
