Assassin Book One: Sansen Peaks by John Carkner

Set in a former time, this story joins El, a woman trained from birth to be an

assassin in service to her King and country. El variously encounters success and

challenges but is thrust finally into a world where she finds that she herself has

become an assignment. Her life’s mission and for those few who muster to her aid,

becomes startlingly clear as she struggles to survive and push back against the

forces pitted against her and those she loves. Her journey is described by one of

her meagre army as a grand adventure, the outcome of which depends, as El

believes, not on fate but solely on the skills and resolve of her and those standing

with her.
