About this audiobook
Eveen the Eviscerator is skilled, discreet, professional, and here for your most pressing needs in the ancient city of Tal Abisi. Her guild is strong, her blades are sharp, and her rules are simple. Those sworn to the Matron of Assassins—resurrected, deadly, wiped of their memories—have only three unbreakable vows.
First, the contract must be just. That’s above Eveen’s pay grade.
Second, even the most powerful assassin may only kill the contracted. Eveen’s a professional. She’s never missed her mark.
The third and the simplest: once you accept a job, you must carry it out. And if you stray? A final death would be a mercy.
When the Festival of the Clockwork King turns the city upside down, Eveen’s newest mission brings her face-to-face with a past she isn’t supposed to remember and a vow she can’t forget.
“One of my favorite authors ... I loved this one.”—Rebecca Roanhorse, New York Times bestselling author of Black Sun

This is an interesting story. The concept is very intriguing. The world building is beautifully done. The characters are very intriguing your face and dynamic. I love the banter that they engage in. The plot is a very twisty little critter. I enjoyed this story. I hope you give it a chance.
