Story Notes

Ever witness an alignment strike?

For those who don’t know, it’s a term used in Dungeons & Dragons that refers to a moment when a player roleplays outside their character’s established design. Back in the day, it could come with penalties, loss of experience, even loss of action in battle.

But what if you’re really the character in that world? What does that feel like?

Ghosts of an Assassin is a passion project, a side quest if you will, that ties into the main Andoriaverse as a pivotal opportunity to see one of the main series' protagonists as he changes from a trained, calculating killer into a shrewd, manipulating hero whose only focus is to protect all that he loves, including his own soul.

Come along. Witness the alignment strike.

Summary

Bertrand Arramor has been a thief and assassin for nearly two hundred years. He's good at it, comfortable with it, and far too old to start developing a conscience now. Then he's given a contract to kill his own guildmaster. What should have been another job destroys the only life Bertrand has ever known. Abandoned by his guild, hunted for a crime he didn't commit, and haunted by memories he cannot explain, he is forced onto the roads of Andoria with little more than his skills and a growing suspicion that something is very wrong. Then Bertrand begins doing things an assassin shouldn't. He saves people he doesn't have to. Trusts people he shouldn't. Befriends a Fairy who gets entirely too close. And, worst of all, he starts to care. But becoming a better man doesn't make the world a better place. Something is moving behind the violence surrounding him, and Bertrand's search for the truth will carry him across Andoria and into a much larger game. Survival involves kings, killers, thieves, forgotten histories, and forces he doesn't yet understand. Bertrand has spent a lifetime learning how to survive in the dark. Now survival may require him to become the one thing he never intended to be. A hero.

I must say toward the end of the book there were some issues with like a quick change ...
