Publisher: Tor Books

Goodreads / Purchase

A novice assassin is on the hunt for someone killing their own in K. A. Doore's The Perfect Assassin, a breakout high fantasy beginning the Chronicles of Ghadid series.

Divine justice is written in blood.

Or so Amastan has been taught. As a new assassin in the Basbowen family, he’s already having second thoughts about taking a life. A scarcity of contracts ends up being just what he needs.

Until, unexpectedly, Amastan finds the body of a very important drum chief. Until, impossibly, Basbowen’s finest start showing up dead, with their murderous jaan running wild in the dusty streets of Ghadid. Until, inevitably, Amastan is ordered to solve these murders, before the family gets blamed.

Every life has its price, but when the tables are turned, Amastan must find this perfect assassin or be their next target. 

I was on the hunt for debut authors to feature in my Young Adult Debut Promotions posts and I came across this gem of a book. I have come to realize that I love complex fantasy stories, and bonus if there are assassins and kick-ass fighting included. This book looks like it's right up my alley, and I don't even have to wait long to get my grubby little hands on it.

What book are you waiting on?
