Per nascondere la sua vera identità aveva dovuto far affidamento sulle sue doti naturali e sulle ferite che portava dentro di sè. Pronta a rischiare tutto, Jenson aveva compiuto il sacrificio più grande. Ora, tirata letteralmente fuori dalle macerie, Jenson intraprende un viaggio di scoperta. Alla ricerca della donna che ha perso, su un antico pellegrinaggio attraverso la Spagna, chiamato Cammino di Stantiago.

Durante il suo viaggio, però, si imbatterà in un complotto terroristico che porterà delle conseguenze non solo per la Spagna, ma per il mondo intero.

Incluso el poderoso Sakagé, la organización criminal que mueve los hilos y los intereses en la ciudad de Cenaria, le respeta.La vida carece de valor si se ha nacido en las calles, y para Azoth la única manera de escapar a la miseria y el miedo que siempre le han acompañado es ser temido antes que temer, matar antes de que le maten. Si quiere sobrevivir, debe convencer a Blint de que le acepte como aprendiz.Pero aprender a asesinar con el mejor exige más que un duro adiestramiento. Hay que cambiar de identidad. Hay que olvidar el pasado y aquello en que se creía. Hay que aprender a moverse como las sombras en un mundo de intrigas donde nobles, plebeyos y criminales son meras piezas en una partida que acaba de empezar.
