    About this ebook

    Some say the dead should stay dead. Not everyone agrees.

     

    The priests purged one of their own with holy fire. Now they need the Assassin Without a Name to finish the job.

     

    In this short tale, an assassin is hired to kill the already dead.

     

    ***

     

    Enter a world of intrigue, adventure, magic, technology, and, of course, murder, as this continuing series finds the Assassin Without a Name embroiled in a secret war where all is lost no matter who wins.
