Assamite — Gherbod Fleming

Night of the Assassin

For nearly a millennium, Fatima al-Faqadi has stalked and destroyed other creatures of the night. Few are her peers. To exist is to serve. All for the glory of Haqim, Antediluvian founder of the Assamite clan.

But now the Final Nights are at hand, and a herald has risen to judge the children of Haqim. To prove herself worthy, Fatima must assassinate not only Cardinal Moncada of the Sabbat, but also his childe, Lucita, the only creature in hundreds of years to evoke passion from Fatima's cold heart.

Faith versus loyalty versus love -- and Fatima is caught in the middle.
