Zheng Tian is a 16-year-old assassin for the emperor. A member of the Black Lotus Clan. This is to be his 23 assassination. He was to assassinate a 14-year-old boy named Li Bin. Li Bin plays a pipa, an instrument usually played by women. Tian thinks something isn't right about his orders, so he offers to help the younger boy with a few things and begins to investigate why a 14-year-old is to be killed.
This story is exciting and intriguing, we get to follow Tian and his fellow assassin Jie as they uncover the truth.

This is a very short story with an ending that means you need to go and read the Prelude to Insurrection and the Dragon Songs Saga to find out what happens next.

I read this in the "Heroes Wanted" Anthology.

Zheng Tian is only sixteen but he is already an accomplished assassin. He is supposed to kill a boy. Tian starts to wonder why. It ended in a cliffhanger to force the purchase of the series. Not cool to do in what is SUPPOSED to be a short story.
