If the Knight of Death, alchemist/assassin, thought he had enough trouble in Texas the first time he went, he was terribly mistaken. Returning to Texas seven years later in an attempt to rekindle his relationship with Miss Meredith Sinclair, Mark Ramsay finds himself kidnapped, killed, black-mailed and then utterly betrayed when he only wanted to make a simple proposal. His prayer of a simple life will never, ever be answered, it seems.

(The King of Terrors is Book 2 in the Assassin Chronicles, an epic fantasy fiction series made of thirty novels. Twenty-seven are currently published.)

Yo Delmar said “Just downloaded XXVII to the kindle! What a wonderfully delicious weekend read this will be” on Facebook.

Unexplained forces set upon the Knight of Death and he learns a powerful lesson about physical alchemy when he ‘gives birth’ to the mythical Philosopher’s Stone. The long-awaited Stone sets off a chain of prophesies enumerated in a number of obscure alchemical texts referring to the members of the Ruling Council of the poor Knights Templar. The coveted stone, understood by few, is stolen and held for ransom by a renegade ex-Templar apprentice, but he is the least of their worries when his bumbling disregard for the Templar Code catches the attention of an even more powerful old enemy.
