Synopsis

Once a fabled Blade of Namara, Aral Kingslayer fought for justice and his goddess alongside his familiar, a living shadow called Triss. Now with their goddess murdered and her temple destroyed, they are among the last of their kind. Surviving on the fringes of society, Aral becomes a drunken, broken, and wanted man, working whatever shadowy deal comes his way. Until a mysterious woman hires him to deliver a secret message-one that can either redeem him or doom him.

Aral “kingslayer” was o......more

Goodreads review by Eon Windrunner on August 03, 2015

A great book that I am surprised not to see on more TBR lists. Only 300 pages long, but packed with action, fun characters, cool ideas and a solid story. “Are you the jack?” she asked when she reached my table.

The main male and female characters ending up having sex was just so predictable. Some parts felt a bit slow, and at other times a bit rushed, so I'd have......more
