The Assassin’s Guild is coming for him. The Reaper plans to take them down first.
With all fifteen of his skills unlocked, Whikoga’s gang war concluded, and his head still firmly on his shoulders, Asher finally gets a chance to breathe for what seems like the first time since arriving in this new world.
A chance that is somewhat interrupted when the head of Whikoga’s Assassin’s Guild decides to take a personal interest in this so-called Reaper.
The different gangs may control the underside of the city, but they are nothing compared to the silent assassins watching from the shadows, waiting for the opportune moment to strike with their deadly array of skills. From brutal carnage to invisible toxins, the Guild has no end to their methods when it comes to taking out their targets, and Asher quickly finds himself on the receiving end of all of them when he is offered a fairly simple choice.
He can join the Guild and become one of their deadliest assassins. Or he can die.

Read full series description
W.D. Swanson’s The Eternal Assassin is a dark progression fantasy series that explores a world where resurrection, forbidden powers, and ancient forces have turned mortality into something that can be controlled. When Asher discovers that his unique ability prevents those he kills from returning, he becomes both a weapon and a threat in a realm where powerful factions depend on the cycle of life and death remaining untouched.
As his strength grows, so do the questions surrounding his existence. The series follows a reluctant assassin navigating a brutal fantasy world filled with hidden agendas, evolving abilities, dangerous enemies, and the weight of choices that cannot be undone. Each step forward reveals more about the mysterious forces shaping the world around him, while Asher must decide whether his power will define him or destroy everything he hopes to protect.
Combining elements of LitRPG, dark fantasy, and character-driven progression, The Eternal Assassin delivers a tense journey of survival, strategy, and transformation. With a shadowy atmosphere, escalating conflicts, and a protagonist whose greatest gift may also be his greatest curse, the series offers a gripping exploration of power, consequence, and what happens when death itself is no longer a certainty.
