“I would advise you, young man, to take care around anyone with the
surname Firefax. I know not if the rumors be true that they be king killers,
but they are, without any doubt, a dangerous family.”
Legend tells of a city of gold on a phantom island. The wealth of that city
could end the American Revolution. But the only person who knows the
island’s location is the world’s deadliest assassin. And
he’s not giving up that secret without a fight . . .
1781. New England.
The world’s oldest family of high-profile assassins, the Firefaxes,
have been killing off dignitaries—and being well-compensated to do
so—for centuries. The family is thrown into turmoil by their
patriarch’s death and the return of their cunning, cruel prodigal,
Murdoch. Murdoch is the only one left who knows where the Firefax wealth is,
kept on a secret island. But Murdoch’s former protégé,
now turned nemesis, Istäni, who is the leader of a British intelligence
network, and Murdoch’s former colleagues from a Continental
intelligence network are looking for that wealth. These spy networks are
bent on tracking down the legendary treasure, whatever the cost, but may
have met their match in this wily, dysfunctional family of killers.
