From the inventive, irreverent (Green Man Review) author of Broken
Blade comes a new Fallen Blade novel featuring Aral Kingslayer.
Former temple assassin Aral Kingslayer has a price on his head and a
mark on his soul. After his goddess was murdered, Aral found refuge in
the shadow jack business, fixing problems for those on the fringes of
Tien's underworld. It's a long step down from working for the Goddess of
Justice, but it gives Aral and Triss--the living shadow who is his
secret partner--a reason to get up in the morning.
When two women hit a rough spot in the tavern Aral uses for an office,
he and Triss decide to lend a helping hand--only to find themselves in
the middle of a three-way battle to find an artifact that just might be
the key to preventing a war. And with so many factions on their trail,
Aral and Triss are attracting a lot more attention than anyone featured
on ten thousand wanted posters can afford...
