Kylar Stern has rejected the assassin's life. In the wake of the Godking's violent coup, both his master and his closest friend are dead. His friend was Logan Gyre, heir to Cenaria's throne, but few of the ruling class survive to mourn his loss. So Kylar is starting over: new city, new companions, and new profession. But when he learns that Logan might be alive, trapped and in hiding, Kylar faces an impossible choice. He could give up the way of shadows forever, and find peace with his young family. Or Kylar could succumb to his flair for destruction, the years of training, to save his friend and his country - and lose all he holds precious.

The second book in the Night Angel trilogy

4 stars

The second book of a trilogy sometimes suffers with primarily being a setup for the final book, this book however does not suffer that fate. That's not to say that there are certain plot lines that's left unfinished for the third book though. The story continues in it's good pacing and we get to know more about the world and new places in it. There characters evolve based on their experiences and all in all it's a well written and fun story.
