After their first kill, they will graduate and attain the coveted cloth of bone. But instead of a commission, Stone Orphan gets an inquisitive linguist, Ul n. Ul n has heard the Orphan Star's song of despair, mirroring her own, and drawing her to the School of Assassins. But Ul n is far more interested in learning Stone Orphan's language than deciding whom she wishes to kill. Unable to contain their curiosity, Stone Orphan offers to exchange stories with Ul n to help her decide the fate of three men. By turns, Stone Orphan and Ul n narrate tales of love, suffering, exile, and self-determination, and two wounded souls find hope in each other through the radical act of listening.
