The Masterless Assassin (Masterless Apprentice)

The Masterless Assassin continues the adventures of Tinariwen of Astinda, a necromancer who spent three hundred years trapped in a glass sphere. Tin has found it a strange time where no one practices the magic of death. Joining forces with a band of assassins he faced off against an elder evil and won his place in this new world. Now set on a good life on a vineyard with his new wife, Lenara, the necromancer faces off with the cult of the Lightseekers, religious zealots bent on ruling the local populace with cruelty and lightning. Tin, Lenara, Kino and the others must survive the attacks of this new force, a daunting task when they have a dracon! But the Assassin's Guild isn't entirely helpless for they have a new ally in Sandra, a young woman blessed with natural luck that makes her unstoppable. The romp continues. Jack Mackenzie said of the last book: "...a rollicking adventure that moves at a breakneck pace."
