Summary

Renowned for his flawless kills, the Swordsman is one of the most lethal mages on Earth.

His reputation for subtlety allows him to command a high price - despite his singular rule. He does not kill innocents. Recently, his employer has been a secretive group known as the Harbingers, whose latest target is not who he seems. Known only as Hawk, the man proves to be an elusive quarry. When stalking his haunts fails the Swordsman baits a trap and settles in to wait. But this prey is also a predator, one who knows a disturbing truth. If the Swordsman believes it, his rage will see no bounds. No mage or man will deprive him of retribution, for when you betray the Swordsman, you invite his blade.

Assassin's Blade is a short story in the riveting Chronicles of Lumineia series. It precedes the events in The Last Oracle.

Short story

A great advertisement for the skill of both the author and narrator, that provides a taste of the author’s other works.

Flying Assassins

An awesome tale from the Chronicles Of Lumineia, The Sword Man and his partner a mage are on the hunt for his next target, Hawk, a mage with fire elemental magic, his one rule he does not kill innocents, when he finds out his target is an innocent after killing him, his vengeance will take him to the people who signed the contract, fantastic Urban setting and the magic is out of this world, brilliant characters and plot, narrator Derek Perkins gives an amazing preformence, highly recommend.....😁

Struggle to get into this.

Struggle to get into this, and realised that the start needed to be more animated for me.
