Synopsis

A desert world made desperate by drought and war. Jess, a beautiful Nubian assassin, is deadly to her enemies but strangely troubled and vulnerable around her friends.  Can the love of the Greek slave girl, Pandora, and their friends save her? For Jess carried a terrible secret.
Jess desperately seeks answers: answers about herself and what really happened to Jacinta and Elana in the final moments of the desperate defence of Elgard?  Is the Elvish Prophecy really complete?
The friends embark on a perilous quest that will take them half way across the known world to the Troad but they are not ready for what they will find there. Yet it is not only danger and dark magic that Jess must face on her journey, can she face what lies within herself?
The epic adventure of love and courage that starts with the Elvish Prophecy continues in the Assassin's Quest.

About this title

From the Author:

I have enjoyed writing all the books in The Paladin Chronicles series but the Assassin's Quest will always hold  a special place in my heart. I especially loved the memorable characters, their courage, love , the exotic setting, the highs and lows and the excitement, all told of course with a very gentle touch of humour. 

From the Back Cover:

Æloðulf, the last of the Illvættir Wizards, is finally dead but it has been at a terrible cost. Jacinta and Elana were destroyed with nothing left to bury. Hakeem is finished, a broken man. But is everything as it seems?  And what about Gansükh, who still lives?
Jess a Nubian assassin, mysterious and deadly, must embark on a perilous journey through an ancient world for answers to these questions and questions about herself. Her journey will take her through the desert lands of Central Asia which have been made desperate and hungry by the crippling drought and torn apart by war. She is joined by Pandora, a Greek slave girl searching for her home. The two become lovers, but can the troubled, reclusive Jess allow others to love her? And what about those others who join them on their journey: the handsome Avestan man, Iraj and Rohana the girl who is dying?
Physical danger is not the only thing the friends must face. And if Jess and Pandora reach all the way to the Troad what will they find there? The adventure that began with the Elvish Prophecy continues in the Assassin's Quest.
