First sentence: Excerpt from Blacksent: Book of the Umbra



   The tide falls, bringing closure to dusk, proclaiming the night. Crystal-flecked ebon rules the sky with only a faint sliver of moonlight balancing on the horizon. Here, the ocean and shore divulge alliance of water and earth. One gives as one takes.
Description: by Michael A LaFlamme & Michael D. Poe

“He is written about in legend, whispered about in the dark corners of the world. He is shadow; he is wind. Yet none know his name or his face; for this, to be sure, is a Master Assassin from McAmal.” 

Ncon tried to deny the legacy of McAmal, the Deamon-ruled island of his birth, but his blood-debt remains unforgiven. Aided by his friend, the flamboyant swordmage Figment, and under the subversive guidance of the wizard Zandor, Ncon must return to McAmal to face the GrandWeir, God of the Assassins, and kill one last time.
