Book VII, "The Vesper Bell (Part II)"

From an ancient dragon in the heart of France to an abandoned schoolhouse in a lonely Scottish borough, the international assassin, Cobra, has embarked upon a long-awaited journey for vengeance. Though it is unclear even to him what went wrong to make him who he is, he has taken steps to make all those who played a role feel the pain of what he has become. As the maniacal killer gets closer to enacting his revenge, it becomes clear that his success hinges not only on the deaths of his enemies, but on the purging of a past that has haunted him his entire life.
