The world's greatest assassin. An enchanted prison. And a deadly mission-to set him free.
Legendary assassin Locan A'Shadow has been ambushed and captured by raiders. His companion Cetrik pursues the kidnappers across land and sea to Rameon-capital of the Dominion empire.
Rameon is more beautiful and deadly than Cetrik could ever have imagined-a twisting maze of blood and gold, where senators and courtesans play vicious games of power.
But the city is on the brink of disaster...
A vast army of nomads has invaded, sweeping all before them. Now they are almost at Rameon's walls. There is only one way to save the city-killing the warlord who binds them together.
The Dominion doesn't need a hero. It needs an assassin...
But Locan is locked deep in Rameon's most notorious prison as warring factions bid on his life. Can Cetrik find a way to break him out, before the greatest city in the world is burned to ashes?
A thrilling and action-packed epic fantasy adventure, The Assassin's War is perfect for fans of Joe Abercrombie, John Gwynne, and Scott Lynch.
