The Painted Girl: An Assassin's Sight Story — D.K. Holmberg

Nothing comes easy for Galen. Exiled from his homeland, apprenticed to a healer turned assassin, now Galen has gone out on his own. After even a simple hit -- nothing more than a young boy -- goes awry, Galen is nearly killed by one of his own poisoned darts. When he learns why the boy went after Davin and meets the painted girl the boy rescued, Galen realizes the boy needs his help or they'll both end up dead. But helping him means going against one of Eban's most notorious thief-masters. After all he's been through, Galen isn't sure if that's a risk he's willing to take.
