The Murderers' Apprentice
Like her father and mother before her, Merrith is apprenticed to become an assassin with the Murderers' Guild. But Merrith is hopeless with a dagger and sword, inept at mixing poison and isn't quite okay with the idea of killing people anyway. Merrith's talents, it seems, lie elsewhere.
