About this ebook

On the cut-throat streets of Tarkis, orphaned teens like Rath end up jailed … or dead. So when the shadowy Janus Group offers Rath a chance to earn riches beyond his wildest dreams, he seizes it. But the Janus Group is as ruthless as the elite assassins it controls. Rath will have to survive their grueling, off-world training, and fulfill all fifty kills in his contract before a single cent comes his way. And ending so many lives comes with a price Rath can't anticipate. It'll certainly cost him what's left of his innocence. It may well cost him his life.

Ratings and reviews

Easy to read and light book, but still a real page turner. This first book was free and I simply cannot resist buying the next one :) The good bit is that there are 5 or more to follow after that.

interesting, a guild which need each member have 50 kills as a test and then they would approved you and after that riches guaranteed to come. our main character here embarked on a path with this guild. this is a easy read but have also element of thrilling.

Thoroughly enjoyed. A few plot holes but inescapable in a work of fiction. Would be interested in the rest of the series but unable to find on playstore.
