Two men who hate each other. One impossible mission. A legend in the making.

The Crown Tower introduces us to Hadrian, a warrior with nothing to fight for, paired with Royce, a thieving assassin with nothing to lose. Together, they must steal a treasure that no one can reach. The Crown Tower is the impregnable remains of the grandest fortress ever built and home to the realm's most prized possessions. However, it isn't gold or jewels that their employer seeks. If he can only keep them from killing each other, they might just secure his prize.
