The Assassin King
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Assassin King is the sixth book in the Elizabeth Haydon series, the Symphony of Ages, released December 26th, 2006.
The Assassin King opens with the arrival by sea of a mysterious hunter who endlessly chants the names of demons that are his intended victims, as well as one other name: Ysk, the original name of the Brother, now known as Achmed, the Assassin King of Ylorc.
At the same moment, two gatherings are taking place. The first is a convocation of dragons, who gather in a primeval forest glade--where one of the last of their kind has died. They mourn not only his irrevocable death, but the loss of the lore and control over the Earth itself that it represents. The ancient wyrms are terrified for what will come as a result of this loss.
The second gathering is a council of war. Each attendant brings news that form the pieces of a great puzzle. And as each piece is added it becomes quite clear that war is coming, the likes of which the world has never known.
