Description
In this thrilling conclusion of the Nena Knight series, the trained assassin will have to confront the ghosts of her past...before she becomes one herself. Until his untimely death, Nena's mentor was the backbone of the Tribe. With his leadership position unfilled and despite the Tribe's newfound misgivings about her, Nena has stepped into a new role she never wanted. Politics is an entirely new venture for her, and now one of the Tribe's own has been kidnapped, forcing her back to her origins as an assassin. But the only person qualified for such a rescue mission is Nena Knight-and a new team whose trust in her continues to waver. Determined to harness the power of her former role to succeed in her new one, Nena must also face what she left behind. Old fears, resentments, and anger threaten the precarious hold Nena has on her new life as she realizes that the past-and the people from it-are never far behind.

If you like thrillers, don't miss this one." -Southern Literary Review "Nena Knight can cover Orphan X's six o'clock any day!

These books burn hot and read fast." -Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author of the Orphan X series "It Ends with Knight finishes this trilogy every bit as heart pounding, soul-searching, and explosive as it started. Nena Knight now takes her place alongside crime fiction's most unforgettable heroines." -Rachel Howzell Hall, New York Times bestselling author of We Lie Here and These Toxic Things "Yasmin Angoe returns with both barrels blazing in It Ends with Knight. Nena Knight is such a well-crafted character, and Angoe's writing is an absolute joy. You need some pretty strong writer mojo to get readers to root for an assassin, and Angoe pulls it off. I truly hope It Ends with Knight is not the end of this wonderful series." -Tracy Clark, bestselling author and winner of the Sue Grafton Memorial Award Praise for They Come at Knight An Amazon Best Book of the Month: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense "There's nothing ho hum about Nena Knight, the killer at the heart of Yasmin Angoe's They Come at Knight...In one blistering action scene after another, we get to see how good Nena is at what she does." -New York Times Book Review "A second round of action-packed, high-casualty intrigue for professional assassin Nena Knight. A lethal tale of an all-but-superhero whose author promises that 'in this story, there are no heroes.'" -Kirkus Reviews "This action-packed novel drives toward an explosive conclusion.

I can't wait to see what Yasmin Angoe comes up with next." -David Baldacci, #1 New York Times bestselling author "Yasmin Angoe's debut novel, Her Name Is Knight, is an amazing, action-packed international thriller full of suspense, danger, and even romance. It's like a John Wick prequel except John is a beautiful African woman with a particular set of skills." -S. A. Cosby, New York Times bestselling author of Razorblade Tears "It's hard to believe that Her Name Is Knight is Yasmin Angoe's debut novel. This dual-timeline story about a highly trained Miami-based assassin who learns to reclaim her power after having her entire life ripped from her as a teenager in Ghana is equal parts love story, social commentary, and action thriller. Nena Knight will stay with you long after you've read the last word, and this is a must-read for fans of Lee Child and S. A. Cosby. I found myself crying in one chapter and cheering in the next. I couldn't put it down!" -Kellye Garrett, Anthony, Agatha, and Lefty Award-winning author "This was a book I couldn't put down. Yasmin Angoe does a brilliant job of inviting you into a world of espionage and revenge while giving her characters depth and backstory that pull the reader in even more. This story has depth, excitement, and heartbreaking loss all intertwined into an awesome debut. The spy thriller genre has a new name to look out for!" -Matthew Farrell, bestselling author of Don't Ever Forget "This brave and profoundly gorgeous thriller takes readers to places they've never been, to challenges they've never faced, and to judgments that leave the strongest in tears. Her Name Is Knight is a stunning and important debut, and Yasmin Angoe is a fantastic new talent." -Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Today bestselling author of Her Perfect Life "Her Name Is Knight is a roundhouse kick of a novel-intense, evocative, and loaded with character and international intrigue. Nena Knight is a protagonist for the ages and one readers will not soon forget. Her Name Is Knight isn't just thrills and action, either-the book lingers with you long after you've finished. More, please." -Alex Segura, acclaimed author of Star Wars Poe Dameron: Free Fall, Secret Identity, and Blackout
