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.
