An interesting concept of having the main character be a deaf assassin. I do see a few things that jump out at me. First: Although deaf, deaf people are not quiet. They'll make noises without realizing that they do it. So I assuming the MC gets over this by training. Which brings me to my second point: I would think that the deaf assassin has trained in the art of reading lips. This would be extremely useful for him as to gather information. I am, however, interested in where this story goes and wish the author good luck!
