Spells and prophecies sew havoc in the fight for humankind in the 4th novel of the #1 New York Times bestselling author's epic fantasy series.
Having taken his rightful place as Lord Rahl, ruler of D'Hara, Richard must once again postpone his wedding to Kahlan Amnell in order to face the fearsome Imperial Order in a fight for the New World and the freedom of humankind.

Assassin
Fantasy · Epic Fantasy · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Called “a masterful thrill ride” by ML Spencer, Assassin follows the legendary Hunter of Voramis, an immortal master killer who turns his vengeance on the Bloody Hand crime syndicate after they harm the innocents under his protection, with a 4.3-star rating from more than 5,300 Amazon reviewers. Best for readers who like dark epic fantasy, assassin protagonists, brutal revenge, crime syndicates, and demonic enemies.
Choose your retailer
About the book
All in Voramis know the legend of the Hunter.
Relentless. Immortal. Death walking. The greatest assassin who ever lived.
Pay the master killer his due and the Hunter will execute any target, carry out any contract, no matter how impossible.
But when the Bloody Hand crime syndicate harms the innocents under his protection, they foolishly make an enemy of the one man they can’t afford to anger. The price of the Hunter’s vengeance is high—paid in blood and eternal damnation. Not even an army of crooks, cutthroats, and demonic creatures of nightmare can stand in his way.
He’s far more than just one man…he’s the Keeper-damned Hunter of Voramis.
"Darkblade Assassin is a masterful thrill ride that delves deep into the heart and gut-wrenching soul of a killer." -- ML Spencer, Author of Dragon Mage

"Fantastic, funny, ferocious." -- Sam Sykes
Clay Cooper and his band were once the best of the best, the most feared and renowned crew of mercenaries this side of the Heartwyld.
Their glory days long past, the mercs have grown apart and grown old, fat, drunk, or a combination of the three. Then an ex-bandmate turns up at Clay's door with a plea for help -- the kind of mission that only the very brave or the very stupid would sign up for.
It's time to get the band back together.
