Deadreach made him a weapon. Zenith demands he play their game.
Isen Delmire—once discarded, now feared as Graymark—enters Zenith under new obligations he never wanted and cannot refuse. His Mark is changing. His skills are lethal. And every House in the city watches him with fear, suspicion, or hunger.
When unrest spreads and secrets begin to surface, Isen must navigate a city built on polished lies and quiet threats. He’s surrounded by allies he can’t trust and enemies who underestimate what Deadreach carved into him.
Isen may serve Zenith now… but no one controls what he becomes next.

I love all Jay Michael Nights Books. I have read them all. I was a baby arc reader when I read and fell in love with Fangs of Gold. That was it I was going to read anything he put on paper. I read Book 1 - GRAYMARK Assassin of the Answered. I immediately asked to arc read Book 2 and he allowed me the privilege of reading an early copy. Release date is January 23. 2026. If you think Book 1 is perfect then Book 2 is perfection. It begins with Neera (a side character and my absolute favorite). She is fierce, undaunted and willing to risk everything for Isen. Their love is heartwarming. There are so many twists and turns. Jay does answer some questions from Book 1. But when you find out who Everlasting truly is and the dark journey he has had to withstand you will be utterly shattered. Not at all what I expected. This is Jay, a thin veil covering the truth behind the facade. Who do you trust should be a trope in this book because when you find out the cruel path a favorite character of mine took it will break you. I was screaming in my head, no it won’t happen. 🤷♀️ Yup! There is fantasy, magic, humour, thrills and suspense! And the ending … chefs kiss!
