Assassins of Landria Book 6

by Gail Z. Martin

Genre: Dark Epic Fantasy Action Adventure

The final book of the Assassins of Landria series is here!

An epic fantasy buddy flick/bromance with a dark edge as well as humour, the Assassins of Landria series veers into horror, action, family, angst, comedy, and the occult. Think Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid recast as medieval assassins.

Ridge and Rett go into hiding with the kidnapped heir, evading the warlock hitmen and using Rett’s magic to stay one step ahead of the people trying to kill them.

The resistance movement against the Witch King has suffered heavy losses and seems to be on the brink of defeat. Ridge and Rett manage to score some victories, restoring the resistance’s faith in their ability to succeed. Ridge and Rett hide the heir at Rune Keep and lead an insurgence

against the traditional armies of the Witch Lord’s loyalists, inflicting heavy losses. The heir is nearly taken from him through treachery in Rune Keep, and he’s still not fully onboard until Ridge and Rett rescue him and he sees first-hand what the Witch King’s followers are doing.

The task is simple: Kill the Witch Lord, defeat his loyalists, put the bastard son on the throne, and reclaim their honour.
