Cassandra

Dread World #2

by A.S. Olsoune

In the Dread World, it's kill or be killed. Everyone knows that. It’s why Banji Azero finds himself enjoying a successful career as a Prophet: one of the members of an organization run by the Seer Cassandra. She gets the visions, she gives the orders, and the Prophets kill, steal, save, promote (and so on) whomever she points a finger at. And that’s it. No questions asked.

That’s why Azero thinks little of his newest case: nine names to be disposed of in nine weeks. But things change when he runs into a peculiar DWIA agent bent on protecting one of Azero’s targets—and on catching the infamous Desmond Sannith, a fellow Prophet. Soon, Azero finds he’s working alongside the DWIA to bring down Cassandra’s organization for his own best interests, and, strangely, protecting those he was assigned to kill.

But Cassandra isn’t the sort of woman one turns his back on. She’s sending Azero’s old friend Yuri Kruikov to hunt down and kill him, plus whoever else gets in the way. And Azero’s certain that once the fun begins, the rest of the Prophets aren’t going to want to miss out…
