"After the war that cost him so much, Kylar Stern is broken and alone. He's determined not to kill again, but an impending amnesty will pardon the one murderer he can't let walk free. He promises himself this is the last time. One last hit to tie up the loose ends of his old, lost life. But Kylar's best, and maybe only, friend, the High King Logan Gyre, needs him. To protect a fragile peace, Logan's new kingdom, and the king's twin sons, he needs Kylar to secure a powerful magical artifact that was unearthed during the war. With rumors that a kakari may be found, adversaries both old and new are on the hunt. And if Kylar has learned anything, it is that ancient magics are better left in the hands of those he can trust. If he does the job right, he won't need to kill at all. This isn't an assassination, it's a heist. But some jobs are too hard for an easy conscience, and some enemies are so powerful the only answer lies in the shadows"--… (more)

It's been a while since I last read the series and this definitely needs recent familiarity with the series to succeed for me. It's a tale that's being told from a book and from the point of view of Kylar Stern, no-one came out of the events of the previous books unbroken and he's definitely broken. Now he has to cope with how what they did is a small battle in a political game that's been going on for a long time and retirement isn't something he can really do. It's interesting and involved but I felt very lost in the story, it was tempting a few times to put it down and walk away but it did catch me, I'm still not sure what a lot of the references were about but it wasn't a bad read. It's one I probably should have read in an e-copy because those 838 pages weigh a lot. ( )
