Description
The Gray Assassin Trilogy
Grayshade, the best assassin in the shadowy city of Cohrelle, takes his most dangerous action yet: asking why. In the fallout of everything he’s known now seen as lies, he finds what remains true: his skills, his companions, and his own determination to see his new mission through. Beyond the city of his upbringing, he travels mountains, plains, the dread Bloodmarsh, and into the heart of the grand city of Tellisar, determined to do what he must. A thrilling tale of swift swords and silent death, The Gray Assassin Trilogy is unflinching, philosophical, and hopeful, a necessary reminder in these times that we find truth and faith in love.
“All the action and wondrous magic you’d expect but so much more. The theme of redemption, of owning your past to build a better future, is front and centre, especially for Grayshade himself, lending a depth and compassion to this story. I loved it. You will. Highly recommended.”
—Julie E. Czerneda, author of the Night’s Edge series from DAW Books

Grayshade
For ten years, the assassin Grayshade has eliminated threats to the Order of Argoth, the Just God. Within the towering walls of Cohrelle, all bow to the Order’s authority, even while the city officials publicly distance themselves from its actions.
As the supreme executor of the Order’s edicts, Grayshade dispatches his targets with protocol and precision. But when an assignment breaks these rules, he does the most dangerous thing an Acolyte of Argoth can do: he asks why. Now a target of the Order he so long served without question, he must use all of his skills not only to kill . . . but to stay alive.
Renegade
For six weeks, the assassin Grayshade has walked, alone, away from the streets of Cohrelle on the banks of the Silver Coast and through the mountain pass to the basin lands of Silarein. Somewhere, in these unfamiliar lands, he must find what he seeks — answers.
Previously the Order of Argoth’s most skilled assassin, Grayshade remains their target. His goal: learn the true threat to the people of Cohrelle, and protect those who remain there. Used to the patterns of human nature, but not the secrets behind the yellow eyes of a panther, the whispers and lies of dreams, nor the sunless gloom of the infamous Bloodmarsh, Grayshade will need everything he has — outside and inside — to stay alive.
Heretic
The renegade assassin Grayshade has brought his companions and his quest for answers—or vengeance—to the heart of the Order of Argoth, in the grand city of Tellisar. Neither Grayshade nor the Order will rest until the other is vanquished … no matter the cost.
And Grayshade is not alone. As he walks the markets, the districts, and the rooftops of the city, allies and enemies of unexpected origins reveal themselves, seeking to help or hinder him. Grayshade has seen enough of death. But can his determination to forge a new future, for himself and those he cares for, save him from the failures of his past?
