Black Lotus 2: The Vow
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
After the death of a police officer, assassin Kahllah (aka the Black Lotus) is forced out of retirement in an attempt to clear her name while outrunning a mysterious enemy.
"[A] riveting read from start to finish . . . Excellent." —Exclusive Magazine
It's been months since Kahllah El-Amin, aka the Black Lotus, hung up her pistols, retired from the murder-for-hire business, and finally found peace. But when a police officer is murdered and a familiar flower is left at the crime scene, all signs point to it being the work of the Black Lotus. Someone is trying to frame her. Things get more complicated when the case is handed to Detective James Wolf, a former adversary who has since become a friend.
To clear her name, Kahllah is forced out of retirement and once again must don the mask of the Black Lotus. She races against time to catch the real killer while trying to outrun her most formidable rival. Their deadly game leads to a shocking truth buried under a mountain of lies, as Kahllah attempts to find justice in a world devoid of light.

September 14, 2020
Set in New York City, K’wan’s swaggering sequel to 2014’s Black Lotus finds the eponymous assassin—real name Kahllah El-Amin—retired from vengeance-for-hire and effecting justice through journalism at the magazine she runs with her best friend, Audrey. Kahllah endeavors to ignore the coded contact requests that keep appearing in the Village Voice classifieds; she has no interest in renewing her association with the Brotherhood of Blood. But when someone frames Black Lotus for the murder of crooked cop Francis Cobb, Kahllah realizes she has no choice but to unpack her blades, re-don her mask, and track down Cobb’s true killer. Not only is her honor at stake but one of the NYPD’s finest—hard-nosed detective James Wolf—is hot on her trail. Readers new to the series may initially find themselves scrambling to suss out Kahllah and James’s respective backstories, but on the whole, K’wan delivers a lean, tightly plotted tale that balances noir aesthetics with comic book flair. Fans of pulp and urban lit will be well satisfied.
