Test Novel 01

“The Age of Knowledge”, “The Age of Wisdom” or simply “The Golden Age”, such is how it is known by many across history. The Desert Peninsula of Brakath houses the grandiose city of Baitul Hikmah, a metropolitan at the epicenter of cutting edge technology, philosophical marvel and scientific discovery during it’s time. However, underneath every shining brilliance of a big city, are shadows. Alas, with these breakneck speed of progress, also comes division among the people. Particularly for the political landscape around the Baitul Hikmah, these division arise in the form of differing religious interpretations and soon, sects. What starts out as philosophical differences eventually turned hostile as the masses polarize into different houses of their own sect, branching off of the largest religion and soon enough, bloods are spilled. Different houses wage war by sending in their covert soldiers taking out important figures from other houses. Regions wage war by sending stealthy assassins to eliminate the threat to their political standing. Religious sect houses sending their covert martyrs to cleanse the world off the opposing “heathens”. Such, is the Age of Assassin. A product of their time, those rejected by progress and science inevitably find shades in this path. The path of the assassin offers both a grim threatening reality, a constant rivalry but also the highest paying gig for these Golden Age outcast. Our story follows how a duo protagonist from a broken home become the finest blade mankind has ever created. How the Age of Assassin give birth to the ultimate weapon; made with goal, shaped by time and equipped with what many would call as death itself.
