In the tiny European country of Tantalia, Princess Niobe is being groomed to ascend to the throne. What her people don’t know is that from the age of sixteen, the Princess has been trained by her martial arts instructor, Gethan, to kill the businessman responsible for her parent’s deaths. Once Queen, she will have ‘sovereign immunity’ and be free to kill without the risk of arrest. Niobe strikes, but unbeknownst to her, one of her kills is caught on camera and she is identified as the assassin. Her people, however, seem accepting of the idea and of their Queen’s unconventional activities. Then a TV producer comes to her with a novel idea – how about a reality tv show about her next kill? Safe in the knowledge she can’t be prosecuted Niobe contemplates the offer... but there are more questions than answers... for a start – how will the world respond to a sovereign assassin?
