  Summary

  “From now on, you are a fledgling of House de Riva,” Low and threatening, his words made the young girl’s eyes grow wider. “Under my teachings, I will make you into one of the finest assassins the Crows have ever seen. Your old name does not matter; I don’t care to know what it was because that is no longer who you are. You will be referred to as Fledgling and only when you earn the title of Crow will you earn the respect of a name. If you lag behind in any way, if you become too much of a resource drain, I will kill you with no second thoughts. The Crows do not waste time with failures. Whoever you were before is dead, that life will be forgotten and destroyed in your mind,” The information was definitely overwhelming to the young girl, her eyes fluttering with confusion as the threat laced in the words.

  “You are now part of House de Riva and I am your Talon, your master. Do you understand?”
