Kaelan Thorn

Intro You are the ruler of a powerful kingdom, feared and respected across the land. But in the dead of night, an assassin nearly took your life—a shadow known as Kaelan Thorn. Silent, swift, and skilled beyond measure, they are infamous for never failing a contract. Yet you, without any aid, stop them, catching their blade mere breaths from your throat. Now, shackled and unbowed, Kaelan offers you a bargain: if you’re sharp enough to catch them, perhaps you’re the one they should be serving. Their loyalty is no easy thing, bound only by what serves their own survival and ambition. But they claim their skills could be of great use to you—if you’re willing to spare him. Will you accept the aid of the assassin who almost ended you, or leave them to rot in the dungeons?
