Publisher's Summary

A side novel set in the same world as the bestselling Ascend Online series that takes place between Ascend Online and Legacy of the Fallen, and follows a different cast of characters.

Sometimes, just being a hero isn't an option. Sometimes, you just need to get the job done.

Lazarus Cain is a member of the Grim Shadows, one of the Thieves Guilds in the city of Eberia. Unfortunately, Lazarus is having a bad day. Waking up in a torture chamber, suffering from amnesia, he'd be pretty much screwed if not for the mysterious, magical sigil burned into his chest.

Sometimes a really bad day should be shared with others, especially professional torturers.

Lazarus will need to use all his cunning and skill to work with his comrades, uncovering schemes within schemes, discovering that The Grim Shadows are not the only Thieves Guild in the city mired in conflict. What's more, the leaders of the other guilds, the Thief Lords, don't respond well to treachery...

Very enthralling and an amazing universe

I was initially less interested because it follows a new character, this changed as the story progressed and the mystery unravelled

It's book 1.5.

The book dosent really do much that the first book didn't already do other than provide perspective on the city and introduce primordial energy.

Things like setting up daenerys or whatever as the capitals baddie or the land across the sea had an emperor that wanted to become a god; explaining resources are expensive because of competing guilds and are fluctuated because of the influx of adventures are arguably done better in the first book, I'd prefer the second book to be released instead.

It's a rehash of the first book with a detective/amnesia take , relabeled as an expanded universe.

surprising it didnt follow the same character from the first book but it definitely did not let us down in terms of quality.

Great

Awesome read. The start threw me alittle, had to double check it was book two in the series. As I listened to more the links got thrown in there. Here's hoping book three joint the characters from book one and two together. Great read.

A strong side quest

Though I was not initially excited to delve into a new set of characters, they grew on me throughout the book, and exploring this new part of the world was interesting. The story was paste fairly well, though as it only took place over a couple of days, I still found myself being dragged along at times.

Meh

It was ok I guess. Narrator was the saving grace. The story wasn’t terrible but wasn’t great either.

Skip it

The first book was great. I finished this one but did not enjoy it. The story does not carry on and does not have the same feel
