The Assassin King by: Elizabeth Haydon (6th in series)


OMG what an excellent book!!! And what sucks is that she hasn't started the next book and she really needs to! I cannot wait for her next book and the thrill that she provides each time.

The Assassin King opens with the arrival of a mysterious hunter, a man of ancient race and purpose, who endlessly chants the names of the pantheon of demons that are his intended victims, as well as one other: Ysk, the original name of Achmed, the Assassin King of Ylorc. At the same moment, two gatherings of great import are taking place. The first is a convocation of dragons, who gather in a primeval forest glade, the site of the horrific ending of Llauron, one of the last of their kind. They mourn not only his irrevocable death, but also the loss of the lore and control over the Earth itself that it represents. The second gathering is a council of war: Ashe and Rhapsody, rulers of the alliance that protects the Middle Continent; Gwydion, the new Duke of Navarne; Anborn, the Lord Marshall; Achmed, the King of Ylorc, and Grunthor, his Sergeant-Major. Each brings news that form the pieces of a great puzzle. And as each piece is added it becomes quite clear: War is coming, the likes of which the world has never known.

Requiem for the Sun by: Elizabeth Haydon (4th in series)


OMG these books are absolutely amazing!!! This is my new favorite series!!! I definitely recommend this series to everyone!

Three years have passed since Achmed, the assassin-king, Grunthor, the lethal Seargant-Major, and Rhapsody, the Lady Cymrian, helped bring peace and prosperity to the land of Roland. But when the mysterious deaths of the Dowager Empress of Sorbold and her son leave empty the line of succession, the dark clouds of war threaten the fragile Cymrian Alliance. And Rhapsody must face an old nemesis--one presumed dead for centuries--who rises up to threaten all she holds dear.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!


Happy Birthday Dad!!! I'm sorry I couldn't be there to wish it to you personally. But I did call you today and wish you a Happy Birthday. I hope that is good enough. I miss you so much and all of the words of wisdom that you impart to me. I know you mean well when you lecture me on the various aspects of life that we talk about. I may not want to listen at the time, but I do take it to heart. It's just that sometimes it is hard to put it into action. I love you so much and I am so glad that you are my father. I would not be the woman that I am today if it wasn't for you and I am so grateful for your influence in my life. I Love You Dad!!!
