The Assassin's Blade

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.

There's already blood on my hands. What's a little more?

In the gas-lit streets of Alchester, where ambition and treachery walk hand in hand, a nameless assassin finds himself caught in a web of deadly intrigue.

The Assassin Without a Name has built his reputation on precision, discretion, and an unexpected appreciation for life's finer pleasures. But when a routine contract reveals a conspiracy threatening everything he's built, the Nameless Assassin is forced to question everything he thought he knew.

Enter Elizabeth West, a master thief with her own dangerous secrets. Her quick wit and nimble fingers might be the key to unraveling the conspiracy, but her presence forces the assassin to confront the unfamiliar challenge of trust.

As dark forces gather and ancient magic stirs, their unlikely alliance becomes their only chance at survival.

As the Nameless Assassin delves deeper into the conspiracy, he discovers a plot far more sinister than mere political machinations. In a world where every ally is a potential enemy, the Assassin Without a Name must decide who to trust and what price he's willing to pay for the truth.

Perfect for fans of gritty sword and sorcery fantasy and morally complex protagonists, this first installment in the Assassin Without a Name series will t
