In the Shadow of Swords

THE ULTIMATE ASSASSIN

A brutal slaying in an empty city square triggers an insidious game, turning predator into prey. Now hunted, legendary assassin Ciris Sarn races across Mir'aj, pursued by Marin Altaïr, the widow of his latest victim, and a kingmaker with legions of shadowy zealots at his command.

A FABLED TREASURE

The Books of Promise lay hidden for centuries in the desert sand – until now. Within these pages is written a diabolical conspiracy that if uncovered could shake the very foundations of the world. Revelations concealed through a labyrinth of lies by a ruthless cabal of extraordinary power and influence – those who will do anything to prevent these shattering truths from ever being discovered.

DECEPTION AND BETRAYAL

Chasing the ancient literary relics are cutthroats, fanatics, sheikhs, and viziers all woven and intertwined in an arabesque of treachery, vengeance, and fate. Before the end, Sarn will unravel secrets leading him to the inevitable showdown where violence and murder is the only path to redemption.
