Bound In Blood (Bound In Blood - Book One)

I'd always known the horror of this world. The archaic arts, men who became beasts they could hardly recognise and twisted murder plots. I just never thought I would have to see it firsthand. It should never have been him.

Alex Mystique is just a normal eighteen year-old living in a dark, fantastical world known as "Vallik", on the continent "Bjoriktell". Only there's one teeny, tiny difference: Alex is an elite assassin part of an organisation known as "The First Drawns". With the help of companion, Conner Franklin, our protagonist must persevere against betrayal, loss and prophecy. Only the gods know the fate of our unlikely hero.

You see, assassins know two very important ideas: stealth and bloodshed. However, when their location is discovered and Alex is exiled from the only home they ever knew, a whole new set of problems arise and the true villain is exposed. With the aid of nightwalkers, an alchemist and a barmaid, Alex must learn the truth and put an end to this supposed "prophecy".
