Guest post: Fugitive’s Vow — The Plot Thickens by Gail Z. Martin
Fugitive’s Vow is the third book in the series, following Assassin’s Honor and Sellsword’s Oath. In the first two books, Ridge and Rett break a lot of rules and blow plenty of things up as they use their exceptional-but-unorthodox skills as assassins to save the king from plots against the throne by the followers of the Witch Lord, a wandering mystic stirring dissent. In Fugitive’s Vow, it looks like the Witch Lord may have been defeated, although Ridge and Rett don’t really believe that, and neither does their handler, Burke. Then tragedy strikes, the kingdom is in jeopardy, Rett is missing, and Ridge becomes a fugitive to escape unjust charges against him. Landria’s fate hangs in the balance, leaving Ridge and Rett to make hard and dangerous choices.
We meet some new characters as well, including Gil and Luc. Gil is nobleman’s son who uses his illicit psychic abilities to deliver comeuppance to those who see themselves above the law. That works until the king is forced to intervene and gives Gil a choice between being conscripted into the army for his abilities or to work with Luc, a sheriff whose unusual-but-effective approach to law enforcement also required the king to step in. They’re an odd couple, but working together on the king’s special projects is the only way for them to keep their freedom.
