Fex is a jester to Duke Berlac and an unconscious shapeshifter. Torganath is an assassin and has disturbing thoughts about his life. Both of their lives are thrown out of kilter when the emperor allies with Baron Seelix, the Duke’s rival. Fex is shocked when he discovers he is the host to Torganath. Torganath has the contract to assassinate the Duke. The Duke flees and they follow, but there is another unknown personality inside Fex, trying to manifest herself, Reesha the Courtesan. Torganath attempts to kill the Duke but fails. Reesha emerges under torture. The Duke’s magician extracts their histories. The Duke offers them a deal, their lives and freedom in exchange for killing Baron Seelix. They accept the deal. Despite formidable obstacles, they succeed.
