For centuries, the elite group of warriors known as Whispers have gone through the ritual known as the 'Whisper Rite.' These men and women live throughout the country of Mandalay and are always known within their secret society by the soft, intimate flow of air through the inner ear. Like a whisper of a breeze. For everyone within this group there has always been a feeling of camaraderie and a compulsive need to protect fellow members.Until now...Assassins have been found throughout the land, these assassins have the feel of a Whisper, thus they are given complete trust, but they are not compelled to protect but to destroy all Whispers.
