A broken vow. An attempted murder in the dead of night. Will this retired monster hunter have to give up the life he's made to keep living?
He hasn't been Aleksandr Sergeyevich Volonov, legendary monster-hunting assassin for ten years. Now, he's only Sasha, charming deckhand on a merchant airship. Well, he was until pirates destroyed that ship. Before he can even find another position, his sister sends an assassin to murder him. His only choice is to return to Saint Petersburg and renounce his claim to his family's title.
Trapped by his late father's machinations, Sasha's ever-present confidence wavers as he's surrounded by death threats on all sides. If that wasn't enough, he's forcibly engaged to a brutal villainess, who wants to use his name to take over the organization bent on eliminating all supernatural creatures from the Russian Empire. But at least he can amuse himself by provoking the beautiful but sharp-tongued assassin who turned his life upside down.
As he struggles to keep hold of the man he is, Sasha must face who he used to be in this steampunk fantasy adventure full of folklore, banter, and artifice.
"Wonderful characters and gorgeous settings!...With secrets and just the right amount of sizzle, Lieber's latest steampunk fantasy has something for everyone."
—M.K. Wiseman, author of Sherlock Holmes & the Ripper of Whitechapel
"The Assassin’s Legacy...incorporated adventure, action, magic, and elements of romance to make a gripping novel. I held my breath for the most part. Betrayal, the ambitious nature of humans, family politics, and the quest for power were on full display."
—Readers' Favorite
"Lieber's choice of a Russian setting stands out within the genre. And just as refreshing as this choice is, so too is the writing easy to navigate and crisp with detail... The storyline is engaging and should keep readers turning the pages."
—US Review of Books
"D. Lieber excels in crafting a fantasy steeped in intrigue, diabolical threats, changing interpersonal relationships, and Russian culture… Its special blend of intrigue, fantasy, and psychological self-inspection will enthrall readers to the end."
—Midwest Book Review, D. Donovan, Senior Editor
