The Huntsman is after me.
But he will be mine first.

My world. My throne. My mother.

I've bided my time since then, serving under her in the Mwuaji crime family, but she's crossed another line. She put a price on my head, sending the legendary assassin the Huntsman, Malachi Bowden, after me.

The Huntsman's never failed a contract before, but I know everything there is to know about him. It's finally time for me to take my revenge and finish the war my aunt started.
