![]() ![]() ![]() Sal has brown skin, trauma, a set of skills, and a heady crush on a noblewoman. Both Auditioners and the Left Hand wear masks throughout. The trials for the new Opal unfold bloodily, with three rules: kill the competition, don’t harm anyone else, and don’t get caught. As Opal, Sal would have access to the wealthy lords responsible for the Nacean genocide. The Queen’s Left Hand, which is “her collection of assassins and personal guards named for the rings she w-Ruby, Emerald, Opal, and Amethyst,” needs a new Opal. After years living under an unsavory gang leader, robbing and fighting just to survive, Sal-who’s genderfluid and signals by that day’s clothing whether they want to be called “he,” “she,” or “they”-sees the perfect chance to get revenge for Nacea. Sal comes from Nacea, a country and people obliterated in a war between other countries. A scarred street thief competes to become an elite assassin. ![]()
