They are not strangers to tangling with Enforcers, but they never caused enough harm to warrant the attention of an Ascendant—a being to who death is simply an inconvenience. Not until a routine job on a desolate planet turned deadly, that is. Kennex never expected to meet one of these immortals. He never expected to be killed by one either.
