Assassin's Lament

Aryan was born to a whore and spent his childhood hiding from her fists round at Darryl's house. All his life he wished something would change, something would happen. When the Night of Blood came, he discovered the danger of wishing for anything too hard.

Nowadays, Aryan travels the continent, searching for a myth only fools still believe in. Darryl's still around and they've been joined by Tast, an actor in a world without stages. Then there's Lissa, but the less said about her, the better.

His search might not be so difficult, if it weren't for the curse. But the Wildlands are controlled by the walkers, and only fools leave the safety of the city walls. But sometimes it takes a fool to see what others are too scared to. Just like it takes an assassin to do what others can't, or won't…

Assassin's Lament is a coming of age story mixed up with a dash of romance, a hefty chunk of tragedy, and plenty of action. Cue swords, zombies, kingdoms, assassins, war, blood, and guilt. Plenty of guilt.
