About this ebook

Years ago, Vlad Taltos came to make his way as a human amidst the impossibly tall, fantastically long-lived natives of the Dragaeran Empire. He joined the Jhereg, the Dragaeran House (of which there are seventeen) that handles the Empire's vices: gambling, rackets, organized crime. He became a professional assassin. He was good at it.

But that was then, before Vlad and the Jhereg became mortal enemies.

For years, Vlad has run from one end of the Empire to the other, avoiding the Jhereg assassins who pursue him. Now, finally, he's back in the imperial capital where his family and friends are. He means to stay there this time. Whatever happens. And whatever it takes.

Hawk is the latest in Steven Brust's New York Times bestselling Vlad Taltos series.

"Watch Steven Brust. He's good. He moves fast. He surprises you. Watching him untangle the diverse threads of intrigue, honor, character and mayhem from amid the gears of a world as intricately constructed as a Swiss watch is a rare pleasure." —Roger Zelazny

Ratings and reviews

Vlad's been with us all these years; refusing to die, shave, or stop killing Dragereans. Eventually, Loish or a good woman will change him, just not today.

Great book. I always enjoy reading the Taltos series. there's just so much time between book releases and I forget things that I've read because they aren't in chronological order. But Oh my god this ending! I want to do unspeakable things to Brust for this ending!

I have to say if the next book is not after this one in the timeline I might go nuts.
