Grayshade — Gregory A. Wilson

*First book of The Gray Assassin trilogy, a new Stormtalons adventure* For ten years the assassin Grayshade has eliminated threats to the Order of Argoth, the Just God. The Acolytes of Argoth are silent and lethal enforcers of the Order's will within the sprawling city of Cohrelle, whose own officials must quietly bow to the Order's authority while publicly distancing themselves from its actions. Grayshade is the supreme executor of the Order's edicts, its best trained and most highly respected agent. But when a mission doesn't go as planned, Grayshade starts to question the authority and motives of his superiors; and as he investigates, he soon finds himself the target of the very Order he once served without question. Now it will take all of Grayshade's skill, intuition, and cunning to find the answers he seeks…if he can stay alive. "In Grayshade, we have a complex mystery that unfolds with the care of a craftsman, a rich city that envelops us in its dark streets and maze-like rooftops, and a protagonist as skilled and brutal as he is thoughtful. It's Jason Bourne meets Assassin's Apprentice. Fans of traditional fantasy and spy thrillers should give this book a whirl." - Bradley P.
