Black Talon

Dragonblood Assassin, Book 1

Kullen is the emperor’s assassin. The sharp hand of justice. The Black Talon.

Gifted a soul-forged bond with his dragon, Umbris, Kullen is tasked with hunting any and all who oppose the empire.

But when the secretive Crimson Fang murders two noblemen before his very eyes, Kullen must discover the truth of who they are and what they want. What he uncovers is a web of lies and deceit spiraling into the depths of Dimvein.

Natisse, a high-ranking member of the rebellion known as the Crimson Fang, has no greater goal than to rid Dimvein of power-hungry nobles. Haunted by her past, fire, flames, and the death of her parents, she sets out to destroy the dragons and those who wield them as unstoppable weapons of destruction.

Until she, too, finds herself buried beneath the weight of the revelations her investigations reveal.... The empire is under siege from within, and one man, dressed in black like the night, stands at the epicenter of it all.

Black Talon is the first book in Dragonblood Assassin from number one Audible and Washington Post best seller Jaime Castle and epic-fantasy legend Andy Peloquin, perfect for fans of the Forgotten Realms, Joe Abercrombie, David Dalglish, and Kel Kade.

good listen.

I love this team of narrators. they are a good fit with each other. I first caught them on the WOT.now I will be on the lookout for more collaborations with them.
the book was good too, I will get the next one when it comes out.

Fantastic opening to the franchise

Definitely has a Sanderson vibe which is reinforced by Kramer and Kate Reading (actually why I decided to listen) reading it but this book is pretty great and I’m fully on board for the following novels the world building was superb and always like split perspectives of the same story

Beautiful

I love the way this story was written and read. The way it switches and starts connected.

Epic Assassin Goodness!

Good guys. Bad, bad guys. A noble cause. Lots and lots of action and mystery and intrigue! Oh, and it keeps dishing this out for near a day's worth of listening! FANTASTIC narration from the two voice actors. Gotta say that Jaime and Andy have done a fabulous job entertaining me with this book! Definitely will pick up Book 2!

Great Book

I can hardly wait for the next book in this series. I have enjoyed it very much
