Thanks for that instant positive vote of confidence. The trick now will be making the story live up to the cover! The blurb has now been drafted as:

A deadly war has been triggered in the city of Shandrim. Declared outlaws by the Emperor, the Guild of Assassins strike back hard. Emperor Surabar must act fast. He needs someone to infiltrate the Guild. All attempts to locate the assassins' headquarters have failed and Femke is already known to the assassins. So Reynik, the young legionnaire, must penetrate their inner circle to discover the Guild's secrets.

Reynik knows he will face great danger. Secrets kept hidden for over five centuries command a high price. But there are some dangers for which even the best training cannot prepare you.
