Hunter

A shadow flitted across a path;
A blade of a sharpened knife;
Resulting of a smoldering wrath;
The gilded edge of a Hunter's life.

Summary: After her brother dies from saving the Prince's life during the Sweating Sickness, Alanna has nothing left to live for. For the past eight years, she tolerated her current life--but only to give her time to train. Now she's a full-blooded assassin, more popularly know as a 'hunter'. She's never failed a job, and doesn't falter when she's hired to kill the prince. But when she comes face to face with him, she finds twists in her once straight path.

Disclaimer: (I'm only going to put one up for the whole story, so here it is) I do not own any of the characters in the story, they all belong to Tamora Pierce. I do own the plot and the occasional characters that are unfamiliar to you.
