"Robert Ashby is a natural storyteller, crafting a fascinating and engaging new fantasy world that we hope readers will love to share," Russell B Farr added.
The Assassin is scheduled for publication in early 2014. The novel will be available in limited edition hardcover, hardcover and trade editions.
