Depik. The race of cat-like assassins is certainly feared galaxy-wide. Few living folks have seen them, as the view of one is normally the very last thing its victim sees.

Clan politics on the Depik house world of Khatash are complicated, with clans jockeying for contracts as well as the prestige and prosperity they bring. There’s only 1 rule-Depik usually do not kill various other Depik. Ever.

When Reow is implicated in getting rid of the Depik Governor, though, her clan is declared anathema. Her four offspring are placed under interdict-they are to be killed on sight-and Del, Flame, Blade, and Loss of life must flee using their molly, Susa.

With Reow dead, and Hunters tracking them over the galaxy, will they live long enough to get the true killer, or will they find themselves assassinated by their own kind?
