The Qatu with No Name

Nina has been a member of the Scáth for as long as she can remember. But if she can eliminate the next mark, she can buy her freedom.

Nina does not care which royal scion will take the throne of Sua. She just cares that she kills one of them. But just as she is about to assassinate the younger princesses, she gets a terrible vision. Her Sight has never interfered with her job before, but now that it has, maybe she should pay attention.
