When the lord of Highwater City is murdered, it’s up to the Order of the Balanced Scales to see the killer brought to justice. But it’s a task that will be easier said than done—something that becomes even more obvious when Xier learns that the assassin possesses demonic powers unlike anything he’s ever faced before. Does he have what it takes to bring the killer to justice, or will the Death Dealer plunge all of Highwater into chaos?
The Death Dealer Description
Any assassin is a dangerous problem. One that’s part demon makes for a threat the likes of which Xier has never faced before.
For longer than Xieraine Laedrin’s been alive, Highwater City has been ruled by Lord Jared Falgard, a nobleman of high esteem among the aristocracy. So, when Falgard is murdered in his sleep by a mysterious assassin, it shakes the city to its core.
And the details only become more disturbing. As Xier and his partner Ruthana help the Order of the Balanced Scales hunt down the assassin, they learn that the killer is a demonspawn, a mortal worshipper of demons who has been gifted with demonic powers. Worse, he’s loose in the city, sure to strike again—unless the Order can catch him first.
Xier is determined to see the assassin caught, both for the sake of justice and for the sake of protecting the city from the demonic threat. But it won’t be easy; demonspawn are deadly foes, and the one that killed Falgard is more powerful than most. And, when Xier finds himself working alongside his long-time rival Ander Killian, things only grow more complicated.
Does he have what it takes to bring this demonic assassin to justice, or will the Death Dealer plunge all of Highwater into chaos?
The Death Dealer is a 24,000 word fantasy story, the eighth in the Rise of the Oathsworn series.
