The Silent Assassins
Arobynn sent her to the desert as a punishment. It was the first place anyone taught her that mercy wasn't a weakness.
The Silent Assassins of the Red Desert — a fortress order that trains through stillness instead of fear, led by a master who never speaks and never beats his disciples. The exact opposite of the house that made her.

We're Caffeine and Curses. The Library started as my design research — I can't put Manon on a shirt without knowing which way the iron teeth snap — so we keep the notes here where everyone can use them. The pages are fan-made, not official; the licensed designs are in the shop.
