The Faraian Conspiracy: A ShadowFall novel

In the far future, the colony planet of Farai is on the brink of civil war. Colonel Jason Ebert, a master assassin from Exedra, and his neophyte Faraian partner, Mara ibn Durazzi set out to kill the rebels' leader and replace him with a double. But when Jason becomes emotionally attached to his partner—the double he has been ordered to kill at mission's end—he must repress his own morality or risk not only the success of his mission but the stability of the Faraian government and the Colony Alliance itself.
