Soundtrack to Emperor’s Assassin: Betrothed To The Emperor by Kai Butler

Risk by Deftones for a book about a lonely emperor, a conflicted assassin, and an unlikely salvation.

You’re locked up
You exhaled
You did it before
I seen it
Come outside
And breathe in
Relax your arms
And let me in

I’ll find a way
I’ll confuse them
But I think I can try
I will save your life
I will save your life
I’ll try for you

I know what to say to take you
Higher, higher
No one else can take you higher
But I will try
