January Preview – The House of Black and White

 |  By 

The Faceless Men are an ancient and mysterious order that deal in death. Their services for assassinating high profile individuals are known to cost near as much as raising an entire army of sellswords. Their words are oft repeated by the bravos, scoundrels and water dancers of the free cities: “Valar Morghulis”, All Men Must Die.
