Assassin of Dragonclaw — Lucas Thorn

Eighth in an ongoing Fantasy Series, 'Assassin of Dragonclaw' continues with another story of violent action, foul-mouthed wisecracking heroine tougher than Conan, and oddball mages with a penchant for mass destruction. Following in the steps of the Gray Mouser, Elric, Druss, and many more heroes of Sword and Sorcery, the elf called Nysta will carve her own epic path.

The Jukkala'Jadean taught the art of murder in a city where savagery knew no equal. In Lostlight, Nysta had killed for her King as one of the Jukkala's most deadly assassins.

But that was long time ago...
