I never meant for any of this to happen.

Though I did lead my parents down that alley.

My name is Charlie. I have a camera, a dragon tattoo, and a woman named Haiku who is everything I know of the world. In that order? I honestly couldn’t tell you.

There is a room in my mind I found recently. Very large. Very empty. I try not to spend too much time in there.

The Shinobi are coming. For her. Which means for me.

I find I am not as afraid of this as I probably should be.

And Saxon Payne — something happened. The world Haiku and I came home to looks like ours.

But it doesn’t feel like ours.

And for some reason that makes me worried for Saxon. Like something really bad is about to happen to him.

In Fall of the Assassin, Book 6 of The Dark Photography Folio, Charlie and Haiku face the wrath of the Shinobi. And a mysterious assassin from Haiku’s past that has what it takes to kill them both.

What waits for you between these covers is the reason you started reading in the first place.

Trust me.

I won’t let you down.
