Rating: 8.5/10

Synopsis

Powerful dragonblood vials have been stolen from their murdered owners. Magisters, answering to a shadowy figure known only as Red Claw, seek to undermine the emperor.

Kullen’s work as Black Talon will only grow bloodier as his path crosses with the Crimson Fang, hopeful they might know where to find a kid-napped Prince Jaylen.

Natisse yearns for vengeance against the one who has taken so much from her. Yet, for the sake of the mission—always the mission—she must put her hate aside and attempt to trust the Crimson Fang’s greatest enemy.

With her new Ember Dragon Golgoth by her side, the playing field is even—assuming she can learn to control the fires that rage within her.

Together, assassin and rebel must delve into deep waters and high towers to discover the truth behind so many secrets—secrets that threaten to destroy the very Empire itself.

Red Claw is the second installment in Dragonblood Assassin from #1 Audible and Washington Post bestseller Jaime Castle & Epic Fantasy legend Andy Peloquin, perfect for fans of the Forgotten Realms, Joe Abercrombie, David Dalglish, and Kel Kade.

Review

War is coming to Dimvein, and y’all better be ready when it does. Assassins, dragons, and big ass orcs, there’s going to be blood.

Jaime Castle and Andy Peloquin continue their fantastic bloody tale in book two, Red Claw, a brilliant follow up to the first book Black Talon from the Dragonblood Assassins series.

This series is so action-packed and fast-paced. The worldbuilding is excellent full of intriguing characters and nonstop bloody scenes. What I love about when two authors co-write together, you can never tell who has written what, because the writing is brilliant.

In this book, Red Claw, powerful dragonblood vials have been stolen from their murdered owners. A mysterious figure known as Red Claw is behind all the murder and mayhem.

The Emperor unleashes his most deadliest weapon, the Black Talon, the kings assassin Kullen, to find out who’s behind it all, leading him to come face to face with the reble faction, the Crimson Fang, friend or foe, he’ll soon find out.

It is an absolutely fantastically fun read for all fantasy fans, especially those who love a good assassin story. If you haven’t checked out Jaime Castle and Andy Peloquin books yet, I very recommend you do…🗡💀😁🔥🐉
