From the publisher: During the waning days of the Roman Empire, a small Jewish garrison held off a much larger Roman force, and in the end, when defeat was inevitable, they chose mass suicide to capture and slavery. The Scions of Masada are a secretive, highly trained and impeccably equipped sect of elite assassins and saboteurs within Israel's feared MOSSAD agency. The Scion of Masada incorporates martial arts, Zen swordsmanship techniques, counterintelligence and military expertise and ancient magical arts into a seamless whole. All Scions carry deadly bone daggers, undetectable my most conventional weapon detectors as their badges of office, and these blades carry with them the spirit of a long dead hero the Jewish people.
