About this ebook

In the gas-lit streets of Alchester, where ambition and treachery walk hand in hand, a nameless assassin finds himself caught in a web of deadly intrigue.


The Assassin Without a Name has built his reputation on discretion, skill, and an unexpected appreciation for life’s finer pleasures. But when a routine contract goes awry, earning him the unwanted attention of the ruthless Black Guard and the fanatical Jakaree, the Nameless Assassin is dragged into a conspiracy far more dangerous than any contract.


Enter Elizabeth West, a master thief, former flame, and the one person who might be more dangerous to him than any enemy. Together, they must navigate a treacherous landscape of warring factions, secret societies, and death priests hell-bent on restoring an ancient god to power. When dark technology meets ancient magic, their unlikely alliance becomes their only chance at survival.
