Assassins are not always the bad guys.
In Abbarkon, it's best to keep your head down and your guard up. As long as he can remember, Flint has done exactly that. He ignores the whispers of a monster named Martokallu and the rumours of a rebel group assassinating high-born dukes. Those stories mean little to him as he washes dishes and scrubs floors.
On the day he breaks his own rule to defend a friend, his master ends up dead. Flint is convicted and sentenced to hang. Steps from the gallows, the Hawks snatch him from the executioner and whisk him away to the hidden village of Halklyen.
Experts with their blades and bows, the rebels are the true defenders of the kingdom. They give Flint a sword and teach him to use it. Before long, he learns that the dark sorcerer, Martokallu is real. When the Hawks are forced into the open, Flint is ready to join the fight. Can the Hawks win against an army of Martokallu’s Followers?

Along the way, they discover an unsettling truth: the Protectors of the God Sword do not want them there and they will do everything in their power to stop them. If the Hawks hope to save Abbarkon, they must prove they are worthy of the blade.

The Hawks thought the war was over. A mad sorcerer, a barbarian horde and the elven army think otherwise.
Thousands of barbarian warriors from the frozen land of Nairt’kun arrive in Abbarkon’s north while an elven army prepares to attack from the south. Among the northern raiders is Venadis, a young slave girl.
Her masters fear her beast-shifting magic and force her to wear an iron collar. Intent on freedom, she slips away from the blood-thirsty horde and with her healing powers, she earns a place in the Hawks.
When Flint, Fleta, and the others head south on a mission to assassinate the elven emperor, she goes with them. The elves must be stopped. Will the Hawks get there in time to change the course of the war?
