    Assassin Without a Name Series

    About this series

    Some days it seems like everyone wants you dead.

     

    The deadline for the Black Guardsmen to leave Alchester has come and gone, and now it's up to the Assassin Without a Name to act on his threat. While he's not above killing every last mercenary for the trouble they've caused him, he decides on a different course of action when Gwendolyn Goddard requests a meeting. In exchange for killing a rival, she offers to call off her Black Guard watchdogs. The catch? The mark is Atticus Drake, a trusted friend and ally.

     

    Meanwhile, the Warders and Jakaree continue to pursue their dark agendas. For the Warders, frustration leads to more direct action against the Nameless Assassin and his continued interference. The Jakaree, however, recognizing the need for alliances, offer to make a temporary one in hopes of striking a blow against the Warders. Trusting a death priest is never a good idea, but with questions continuing to mount about the Warders, the Assassin Without a Name reluctantly agrees to join them.

     

    Whatever their ultimate goals, the Jakaree and Warders remain in balance until a blood witch comes to town looking for revenge against Mathilda. While the witch has an agenda all her own, her presence threatens to turn the tide in the wrong direction for good.

     

    Deception, intrigue, danger, infernal science run amuck, and half the city wanting him dead? It's just another day in the life of the Assassin Without a Name.

      Sometimes, death isn't the worst of fates.   When wealthy aeropreneur Rolen Fairwind wishes to hire the Assassin Without a Name to murder his wife, the Nameless Assassin accepts the commission with little consideration. A job's a job, after all, and it isn't his place to question the reason.   But the Nameless Assassin soon learns he isn't the only one interested in ending Mara Fairwind's life. Jarek Blackwell, who fancies himself a hunter of sorts, has a commission of his own from the infamous Sorcerer's League, who pay well for the life force energy of the magically gifted.   All too aware of the rumors spoken about the League and the eternal damnation their particular form of sorcery represents, the Assassin Without a Name sets out to stop the hunter from collecting his due by ending Mrs. Fairwind's life before Blackwell can steal her soul.   The Assassin's Dilemma is a standalone prequel to the Assassin Without a Name series.

      I had a name once, same as everyone else, but after one glorious night of murder it was no longer safe to use.   Small sacrifice for ensuring my sister's safety, I figured. So now I don't use one. In my line of work, it's not necessary anyway. What is my line of work? Murder, of course, though I fancy myself more than just an assassin. Gentleman, thief, wine connoisseur, adventurer, a man of a thousand names and none. I'm all of those things and more.   My life was about as normal as one could hope when one particular job came along. Kill the artificer, steal the plans, make an exchange. Simple enough, until a band of fanatical priests ambushed and tried to kill me. Turns out the plans have something to do with a source of dark energy. The priests aren't the only ones interested in it, either. I've no interest in being a hero, but I'll do whatever I have to do to keep my city--and my sister--safe.   There's already blood on my hands. What's a little more?
