About this ebook
The Underworld rules the city of Veldaren. Thieves, smugglers, assassins . . . they fear only one man. Thren Felhorn is the greatest assassin of his time. All the thieves' guilds of the city are under his unflinching control. If he has his way, death will soon spill out from the shadows and into the streets.
Aaron is Thren's son, trained to be heir to his father's criminal empire. He's cold, ruthless - everything an assassin should be. But when Aaron risks his life to protect a priest's daughter from his own guild, he glimpses a world beyond poison, daggers and the iron rule of his father.
Assassin or protector; every choice has its consequences.
Fantasy author David Dalglish spins a tale of retribution and darkness, and an underworld reaching for ultimate power.

Every scene seemed to choke with too much information, important characters nearly never showing up, when they do? Killed off or wasted character potential, several ends that, instead of being left loose, seemingly seem to have just been cut off. However the story was compelling, several characters were interesting although most if not all seemed to exhibit development with nearly if absolutely no reason.

Having read the the likes of Jonathan Watts and Raymond Feist I found this novel to be a little weak in places, I wish the author would have taken the time to do a little more world building and try to remember which characters were in which location, it's all centred around a single city for petes sake, but despite this I do think the story has great potential

Fast paced and a good read. The plot seemed a little convenient at times though as an origin story for Haren, that's maybe acceptable.
