    Synopsis

    For Durzo Blint, assassination is an art-and he is the city's most accomplished artist.

    For Azoth, survival is precarious. Something you never take for granted. As a guild rat, he's grown up in the slums, and learned to judge people quickly - and to take risks. Risks like apprenticing himself to Durzo Blint.

    But to be accepted, Azoth must turn his back on his old life and embrace a new identity and name. As Kylar Stern, he must learn to navigate the assassins' world of dangerous politics and strange magics - and cultivate a flair for death.

After getting his paper keys from HillsdaleCollege, Brent had brief stints walking the earth like Caine from Kung Fu, tending bar, and corrupting the youth. (Not at the same time.) He started writing on bar napkins, then on lesson plans, then full time. Eventually, someone paid him for it. Brent lives in Oregon with his wife, Kristi. He doesn't own cats or wear a ponytail.

    09/30/2009: An interesting concept. It took me a couple chapters to capture my interest and I will want to read more in the series - to see how it develops.

    4.5 stars (very good but not perfect)by Anonymous

    09/26/2009: I actually would have given it 4.5 stars as I found it a very good read (prose, plot and characters were very engaging). Quite a few plot twists with multiple plot lines intersecting through the series. There are multiple references to characters and devices early in the story that make far more sense once you've read most of the three books but for which there is really nothing to quite anchor on early in the story. These only jumped out for me on a second read (and , yes, I was compelled to read it a second time).
