Description
"I would advise you, young man, to take care around anyone with the surname Firefax. I know not if the rumors be true that they be king killers, but they are, without any doubt, a dangerous family."
Legend tells of a city of gold on a phantom island. The wealth of that city could end the American Revolution. But the only person who knows the island’s location is the world’s deadliest assassin. And he’s not giving up that secret without a fight . . .
1781. New England.
The world’s oldest family of high-profile assassins, the Firefaxes, have been killing off dignitaries—and being well-compensated to do so—for centuries. The family is thrown into turmoil by their patriarch’s death and the return of their cunning, cruel prodigal, Murdoch. Murdoch is the only one left who knows where the Firefax wealth is, kept on a secret island. But Murdoch’s former protégé, now turned nemesis, Istäni, who is the leader of a British intelligence network, and Murdoch’s former colleagues from a Continental intelligence network are looking for that wealth. These spy networks are bent on tracking down the legendary treasure, whatever the cost, but may have met their match in this wily, dysfunctional family of killers.

Prepare to be transported to a world of intrigue and danger in A.M. Vergara's Firefax. From the very first page, I was hooked by the captivating story of the Firefax family, a clan of notorious assassins with a history as dark as it is intriguing. This book is a rollercoaster of emotions and surprises, and I couldn't get enough of it.
Firefax is a thrilling blend of historical fiction, espionage, and family drama that will keep you guessing until the very end. As a reader, I found myself deeply invested in the fate of the characters, especially Murdoch and Istäni, whose rivalry adds an extra layer of excitement to the plot. This is a book that grabs you by the collar and doesn't let go.

An exhilarating historical thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Set in the backdrop of the American Revolution, this novel introduces us to the enigmatic Firefax family, notorious assassins with a rich history of intrigue and danger. When their patriarch's death and the return of the cunning Murdoch stir the pot, the stage is set for a high-stakes adventure filled with secrets, betrayal, and a legendary treasure.
The author’s storytelling is nothing short of masterful, weaving a gripping narrative that skillfully combines history, espionage, and family drama. The characters are as complex as they come, and their interactions add layers of tension and intrigue to the plot.
