About the Book
From the "inventive, irreverent" (Green Man Review) author of Broken Blade comes a new Fallen Blade novel featuring Aral Kingslayer. Former temple assassin Aral Kingslayer has a price on his head and a mark on his
soul. After his goddess was murdered, Aral found refuge in the shadow
jack business, fixing problems for those on the fringes of Tien’s
underworld. It’s a long step down from working for the Goddess of
Justice, but it gives Aral and Triss — the living shadow who is his secret partner — a reason to get up in the morning.
When two women hit a rough spot in the tavern Aral uses for an office, he and Triss decide
to lend a helping hand — only to find themselves in the middle of a
three-way battle to find an artifact that just might be the key to
preventing a war. And with so many factions on their trail, Aral and
Triss are attracting a lot more attention than anyone featured on ten
thousand wanted posters can afford…
