The third best assassin. A second rate mercenary crew. One terrifying demon.<\/p>\n

As Sharaam crumbles under siege, a mercenary crew hires an assassin to kill the king. For Tash, it\u2019s a chance at glory\u2014to be the best blade in the dark Sharaam has ever known. For Pitt, it\u2019s a way to get his cutthroat crew past the Tsarii siege and out of this hellhole, maybe even with some gold to their name. For Iananr the Bound One, it\u2019s a dream of shadows and human blood.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In The Shadow Of Their Dying<\/em><\/strong> is short, punchy, and brutally grimdark. And if I loved it. My only complaint was that it wasn\u2019t twice as long! Michael R. Fletcher & Anna Smith Spark have combined their talents to produce something which is nigh on pitch-perfect, and which I heartily recommend.<\/p>\n

Tash (third best assassin) is tasked with killing the king to end the war. But there\u2019s a demon in the way, and it\u2019s bound to protect the king.<\/p>\n

Hijinks ensue. Oh so many hijinks. And blood, war, lots of bodies (well, bits of them), a smattering of necromancy, bit more blood, occasional mayhem etc.<\/p>\n

A short tale which fairly rattles along and refuses to pause for breath or to wipe the gore from the swords. Absolutely fabulous. Yes, it\u2019s a short review. It\u2019s a short book. All you need to know is that if you have even a passing interest in grimdark fantasy, you need this book.<\/p>\n

In The Shadow Of Their Dying<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, by Michael R. Fletcher & Anna Smith Spark is published by Grimdark Magazine and is out now. Many thanks to the publisher for an advance copy to review.<\/p>\n
