About this ebook

They were supposed to have been hunted to extinction. But sometimes death is a myth.


Astul, assassin by day and purveyor of secrets at night, has agreed to hunt down a king slayer. Somewhat for the money, a little for the ego, and a bit for the adventure... but mostly for the money.


There's just one problem. The king slayer's trail leads to a cache of disturbing secrets involving insane kings, mad queens and kingdoms suddenly poised for a war to end all wars. People seem to be losing their minds. Or rather, forfeiting them.


Something harrowing lingers and lurks in the world of Mizridahl. And only an infamous assassin with a woeful reputation is aware.


Conjurers have returned.

A hilarious read that was a little too vulgar for my tastes. It's amusing watching the main character wander about his way insulting everyone he speaks to but the rest of the book would benefit from a little more work. Especially the passage of time. I stopped reading before I was 100 pages in and I'd already been thrown several times by hours and days apparently having passed with, at best, only the slightest notice.

I was smiling frequently and unceasingly entertained reading this incredibly well written book. I loved the characters sarcasm and wit. I especially appreciated that there were no long boring descriptions of the environment or monologues on feelings. Just kept me engaged throughout. Lots of delicious trickery an unexpected events facing the character. Now I'm on to get the next book, the miscreant, I'm excited! :)

I had to stay up all. I got to read this book. I love the detail. The author was able to make me laugh, instill fear, hope, trust in me through the words. I look forward to reading the next book.
