A homeless prince, a grueling mission, an unlikely hope

When unspeakable tragedy strikes Prince Jack’s family, he’s left with one desire: vengeance. Now living in exile and serving a foreign king, Jack perfects his talent with the sword. He’s sent to the desert for spy and assassin training, dreaming of the day he’ll use these skills to drive a dagger into Ingvar’s heart.

Jack plunges into his training and finds a new family of sorts, whose morally gray members rid the city of vile criminals. But as the desert Lord Anwar readies for battle, allegiances shatter, blood runs in the streets, and the shadow of death looms near. During a last effort to complete his seemingly impossible mission, Jack chances upon a slave girl with a Northern accent and eyes so familiar that he makes a hasty vow.

He always thought he’d defeat his nightmares by becoming one. Could that nightmare fade into a new dream? And could that strange slave girl be at the heart of it all?

REVIEW

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

I will admit this is my first foray into this series but I enjoyed the storyline regardless. Jack is an interesting character. As an assassin you tend to have certain expectations of who they are but following along as he became him was quite the eye opener. With a dark past full of triggers you will find yourself getting attached before its over making for quite the enjoyable read. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
