Sometimes the lesser evil is the crazier man.

A daring bounty hunter, Althadis, has come to the city-state of Pallos announcing that he's hot on the trail of the Whisper, the world's most infamous assassin.

No one has ever escaped the Whisper's blade or seen his face. And if that didn't make his job difficult enough, the day he arrives in Pallos, a gruesome encounter involving a victim of viral necromancy puts Althadis firmly under the suspicions of the city guard. Especially after he claims to be one of the most skilled sorcerers in the world.

Adding to the obstacles in his path, word of the large bounty on Whisper's head spreads through the criminal underworld. And it attracts the attention of an ambitious arms dealer who confronts Althadis and decides to chase after the prize himself.

After learning the Whisper's next victim is a member of a clandestine group called Darkest Hour, Althadis must find a way into their next gathering if he's to have any hope of catching the killer before it's too late.

However, what both the lawmen and the criminals of Pallos will come to find out is that, while he may be crazy, Althadis was not lying about his uncanny skill.

And what Althadis will eventually discover about Whisper's identity might be the most shocking secret of all.
