Lorasz has dedicated his life to the Assassins Guild. They maintain the balance of power between five empires, maintaining a difficult peace.
Until now.
One Master Assassin has spread rumours of coming war, and developed a new kind of assassin. Lorasz must decide whether he has the courage to act, to prevent the end of the world as he knows it.
I thought that Escape was a great start to a fun, action packed series. The characters aren't perfectly defined yet, but I am interested in learning more about them. The highlight for this story is definitely the fight scene. There's a fantastic build up that Black uses and then BOOM all hell breaks loose. It's crazy, it's fun and the ending is pretty amazing. I can't wait to read more about the Five Empires!
It moved along at a good pace, it hung together beautifully and it left me wanting more (in short, all you could ask for in a short story). The only reason I haven't awarded five stars is because I'm a miser when it comes to stars.
