The Way of Wolves #1-2
Fragile Nights
Violence is a disease that hollows the mind
Tyyr is a member of Valsair’s secret police. As part of the House of Ravens, she is the first to gather information for her king. She’s a killer, a spy; efficient and self-reliant.
Rumors of a dissenting lord passes through the Houses, and Tyyr is sent to investigate. The heart of the matter is a mysterious jewel known as the Dragon’s Tear. Tyyr must take the gem back to the capital, but the mission becomes a game of cat-and-mouse when the new owners want their possession to remain a secret.
Inside Valsair, a killer is leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. The corpses of two missing girls and a knight send Warden Zaka and his guardsmen on a mission to find the killer responsible.
The fates of Tyyr and Warden Zaka intertwine as they seek their truths, and fight for survival against the secrets of the kingdom.

Spy fantasy
I liked it because it makes a girl an assassin/spy. There are two books in this. The first book is better because it is more evenly paced. The author put too many different story lines in the second book.

Fragile Nights, by author Chris Weston, is fantastic, let's get that out right away.
If you like Fantasy books that have a complex story, adventure, and the brutality of real life, then you will love this book.
Fragile Nights is actually two books in one: The Dragon's Tear, and The Hunt. They follow the main character Tyyr, who is the best agent of the Ravens in Valsair, a group who serves the Governors as spies, assassins, and hunters of criminals. She must solve the impossible and do the improbable and she is the best there is. Her character is complex, deep, and vicious. She breaks the mold of every woman in classic fantasy.
This story is unique in that it is a fantastic Fantasy story that also has hints of modern ideas and technology, like guns and trains, but the technology is rare and from another time. Knives, swords and magic are the key elements here, making this a true Fantasy.
The key part of this book is how Chris Weston doesn't pull back from making the story real. Good people have bad things happen to them, just like real life, and it is this brutality of real life that adds the perfect ingredients to the story's recipe.
I highly recommend Fragile Nights if you want to read a Fantasy book that breaks the classic fantasy book mold.
