Publisher's Summary
Legend. Myth. Nightfall has long been rumored to be nothing more than whispers on the breeze.
If only it were so. In those halls of darkness, where children are taken from the world and given to shadow and dust, Asher is destined for that same fate. He will become the myth. He will become the legend. He will become the whisper of Death itself.
That which he was is dead; forgotten. Now he is a blade in the dark, a weapon to be wielded by his masters. A killer.
Yet, despite all his training and years of spilling blood, there is a crack in Asher’s conditioning. Something within him is broken, unbound even. A sliver of humanity has survived and dreams of freedom. Now, standing on a knife’s edge, his mind threatens to unravel, taking him from the only path he has ever known and away from the clutches of Nightfall.
It has never been done. Exile is not a choice. It is a death sentence.
But there is another life that calls to him, a life roaming the wilds and protecting the innocent from the monsters which would prey upon them. Hunting monsters, however, is no easy task, especially when Asher himself is hunted by those who would drag him back to Nightfall.
Back to the darkness.

Slow start
Felt it took a good long time to get into the story which improved through the interesting character development.

interesting story.
i do like the character and world set up. I feel the world needs a bit of humour though as the main character is a bit dull and uncharismatic. Also i found the way the court of number one assasins of the realm, learned of many languagee blah blah to be so easily goaded into revealing all their secrets before death to be pretty unrealistic

Clean and clever.
Proves you can write an excellent story without the need of adding offensive language and crude content. Really enjoyed it.

Great start to a prequel series
I mean it's more Asher, what's not to love.
It's also very friendly for people that haven't yet read the Echoes Saga, and doesn't require any prior knowledge
