Brendan Carroll (brendancarroll) | 26 comments Hi Everyone! The Assassin Chronicles is a series of seventeen published novels currently available on Kindle in ebook form as well as paperback up to Book 13. The books are also available from Barnes & Noble, I-bookstore and Smashwords.

The series follows the adventures of the semi-immortal Knight of Death, Mark Andrew Ramsay, Assassin/Alchemist for the Order of the Red Cross of Gold. It is set in modern times but goes far in the past and into the future as the story progresses. A botched assassin's mission sets off a chain of events that the grumpy Scottish Knight cannot control. As time flows back and forth, the Knights of the Immortal Council find themselves facing a multitude of evil characters everyone loves to hate.

Brendan Carroll (brendancarroll) | 26 comments The Red Cross of Gold XVIII:. The Company of Women is now available at the Kindle store. The battle heats up in the underworld and things worsen in the overworld as the Fox closes its fist on the Order's throat.

The Company of Women

“You can leave me here and go for help,” Omar told him. “Just give me my sword before you go.” He reached up for the hilt, but could not pull the heavy blade from behind his back. “Don’t leave me unarmed.”
“You can’t do anything with that sword,” Luke told him miserably.
“I can hold it. That will be a comfort,” Omar told him. “Now just give it to me and let me die honorably, my uncle. Tell my father that I died with honor.”
Luke rolled his eyes and got up. He muttered under his breath about how much honor Lemarik and his father had put into abandoning them. He pulled the great blade from the sheath and placed the hilt in the Prophet’s hands then ran back to the gate and took a quick peek out onto the plain. A strange misty fog was rising up and over the cliff, spreading out over the open expanse.
“Great. Just great!”
Luke’s last hopes faded as he heard low rumbling noises from the direction of the source of the fog. He could see no sign of life on the battlefield in front of the wall. The fog had already drifted in far enough to obscure the line of colorful tents and pennants in the distance where the Tuathan encampment was situated. He hurried back to Omar and knelt beside him again.
“What did you see?” Omar’s eyes had cleared and he had a strange expression on his face.
“Nothing,” Luke lied to him. “Now look, you can’t stay here. I’m going back to the keep. I’m going to find something to tie you on the horse and then we’ll make a dash for the forest. I didn’t see any Tuathans. We might be able to ride straight through.”

Brendan Carroll (brendancarroll) | 26 comments The Red Cross of Gold III:. The Head of the Crow and IV:. The Hesperian Dragon are still only a $1.99 at Amazon.com. Can’t say how long this discount will last. Both have new 5 star reviews.
III:. The Head of the Crow: The Ancient Order of the Red Cross of Gold is set upon by unexplained forces as the alchemist and assassin, Chevalier Mark Ramsay, learns a powerful lesson about physical alchemy when he unexpectedly 'gives birth' to the mythical Philosopher's Stone. The arrival of the Stone sets off a chain of events prophesied in a number of obscure alchemical texts in which he and his Brothers play pivotal roles. The Stone, coveted by many, understood by few, is stolen and held for ransom by a renegade ex-Templar. His bumbling disregard for the Templar Code catches the attention of an even more terrifying old enemy.
IV:. The Hesperian Dragon: The Chevalier Mark Ramsay, Assassin and Alchemist for the Red Cross of Gold goes after the lost Key to the fabled Ark of the Covenant and in the process, discovers that the Order has attracted the attention of the Ancient Order of Assassins, a far eastern cult and long time enemy of the Knights Templar. He is only days away from marrying his one true love when he is torn away from her by his obligations to the Order and his beloved Brother, Lucio Dambretti. He finds himself in Divine company, fighting for his life against a terrifying dragon.

Brendan Carroll (brendancarroll) | 26 comments The Red Cross of Gold XI . Ars Arabia by Brendan Carroll
Here is a little excerpt from Ars Arabia. The Knight of Death is after a crafty Djinn creature. He is using magick to hunt him down, but Lemarik is very sneaky:

“Santa Maria!”
Everything in front of Lucio had turned purple. He pressed his hands against his face and went down on his knees. They tried to help him up, but he was very wobbly. He threw his head back and let go a great sneeze. A blob of purple shot from his nose and struck the ground in front of him.
“Holy Mother!” Mark Andrew shouted and jumped back as the purple splotch grew quickly in front of them, taking the form of a man in a long flowing robe. He had long black hair and his robe was of eastern design. Simon helped Lucio to his feet and Lavon de Bleu came to take his Master’s other arm. They stared at the Djinni in fascination.
