Master Assassins by Robert V.S. Redick

adventurous dark mysterious tense

5.0

Two brothers accidentally enrage an entire holy army and flee for their lives with the most dangerous elite troops and killers on their trail, plunging into a dried seabed desert with their companions, only to find all sorts of danger and terrors al around them. This is a lot of fun, the relationship with the brothers occasinally touching but mostly believably aggravating. They may not be the master assassins they're taken for, but they're not entirely stupid and quite resourceful when cornered. They also find themselves tasked with a secret mission that could affect the entire world, if they survive that long.
