About this ebook

It's been five long years since the city learned to fear...

The war between the thief guilds and the powerful allegiance known as the Trifect has slowly dwindled. Now only the mysterious Haern is left to wage his private battle against the guilds in the guise of the Watcher - a vicious killer who knows no limits. But when the son of Alyssa Gemcroft, one of the three leaders of the Trifect, is believed murdered, the slaughter begins anew. Mercenaries flood the streets with one goal in mind: find and kill the Watcher.

Peace or destruction; every war must have its end.

Fantasy author David Dalglish spins a tale of retribution and darkness, and an underworld reaching for ultimate power.

Ratings and reviews

A brilliantly scripted story. I admit to feeling annoyed, even close to angry, anytime I had to stop reading this to do anything else.

It is paced well. Not overwhelmed with descriptive rhetoric like many of this genre are. It does dwell on injuries a little too much and little more of the humour within these stories could be extended.

Very similar too a few books of similar genre , have read all three now and the plot lines are .... Repetitive.
