The Shadow of Kings

Book 2 in The Assassins' Order

The Merchant Lords are broken. The men who replaced them are worse. Malek al-Aswad is dead. That is what the kings believe, and he has done nothing to correct them. Exiled and unmourned, he walks the courts of Tyre wearing the face of a clerk so dull that no one looks at him twice. He is counting. He is listening. And what he hears is an entire war changing hands. Tyre does not belong to Templars or Saracens. It belongs to Adrian de Rochefort, who owns no army and holds the debts of every man at the table. He does not want the Holy Land. He wants the ledger it is written in. To reach him, Malek must go where no blade can follow: into the chancery halls, the forged charters, the alliances that kill without ever drawing steel. The Brotherhood will not sanction it. His mentor calls it ambition. His oldest friend calls it something worse. And in a public square, before a crowd too frightened to make a sound, Malek will watch the price of that choice paid by someone he loves. Steel cuts one man. The pen cuts centuries.
