Why read it?
1 author picked Dawn of Assassins as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Fedor insists they are thieves, not assassins, but his mentor and a ravenglass dagger say otherwise.
This is a fascinating Dark Fantasy series with magical weapons and wyverns with personality and dark secrets, not least of all their association with the Assassins Guild. Two unlikely anti-heroes get deeper and deeper into trouble with protection gangs, a totally insane assassin who chooses Fedor to replace himself, and a brutal world where danger lurks behind every choice.
From Austin's list on great horror and dark fantasy off the beaten track.
