Isekai Assassin

For nearly all of my life, I trained to become a master assassin, but at the height of my career, it all fell apart. I was betrayed, ambushed, and left bleeding out on the streets of London. Just before my death, though, I was offered a choice: Stay and let my life come to a swift and brutal end, or become the personal assassin of a god in another world. It wasn't a hard decision. But this new world isn’t like the one I left.

Count Vohra is dead, and with his city almost completely under my control, I can finally start building the foundations for the new underworld. But before I can begin, there’s a particularly nasty thorn in my side that I have to deal with first. The leader of the assassin guild, Crescent Thorn, wants to meet me, and I doubt talking is on his mind. And as if that wasn’t enough, Weilin has another contract for me, one I can’t refuse. He wants me to assassinate a high priest.

After Crescent Thorn's failed attack on Blackfall Manor, things are finally calm enough to turn my attention back to Vohra and rebuild the underworld. But there are no shortage of fires to put out; enough problems both near and far that my fledgling empire might be in trouble before it begins. The one person who can hope to stem the tide is also my single biggest threat in this world. Jasper Ildan, the Jackal of Vohra, is the devil I don’t know, but when my back’s against the wall, even I’ll consider making a deal.

Soldiers may win wars, but assassins topple kingdoms. War is on the horizon, and soldiers are bearing down on Vohra. Queen Joslyn means to take back the city, but her reach has far exceeded her grasp, and if she thinks I’m just going to sit back and let her dismantle everything I’ve built, she’ll be sorely disappointed. Joslyn has no idea whom she’s picked a fight with. But I aim to fix that.
