Weapon of Blood (The Weapon of Flesh Trilogy) (Volume 2)

The sequel to the award-winning Weapon of Flesh, Weapon of Blood continues the story of Lad, a man crafted of magic and flesh to be the most lethal assassin the world has ever known. A weapon becomes a person. The Grandfather is dead, and Lad is free to live his life as he chooses?as long as he chooses the Assassins Guild, of course. Lad?s job is to protect Master Hunter Mya, a difficult proposition with a guild war brewing and death waiting around every corner. Envious rivals plot to eliminate Mya, even as the Assassins Guild Grandmaster seeks to promote her. Lad?s solace is his loving family. But the blessings of love and friendship vie with the despair of fear and doubt. And so much gained means that much more to lose. Suspicion and betrayal abound as the Assassins Guild factions strive for supremacy. Even Mya harbors secrets so deep that she will kill to prevent them from being revealed. Lad does not know who to trust, but that is not the worst of it. For, unbeknownst to Lad, he is no longer the only weapon of flesh?
