Hey everyone! Thanks for reading this.
I read these books a few years ago around 2000, i believe they were published before that so pre 2000 but post 1960s im guessing. I am desperate to find out what they are called or the authors, different authors forsure 100% positive. It's suddenly started annyoing me, like on the tip of the tongue deal but it just drives you nuts. Any ideas would be great.
Plot 1:
There is this woman whos the personal assassin to a Dark Lord. The Dark Lords are constantly fighting amongst eachother in their city, kind of like a necropolis. Where each one tries to outwit and kill, betraual and the like. The assassin was captured as a child, and forced into training for an assassin. Now an adult, she is sent on a mission to take a town with a host of the dead. The Dark lords practice necromancy, and have hosts of the dead that are slaves as well as soldiers. During the battle, she gets wounded and left behind by her own forces, most of which are destroyed. She is then captured by rebels. At first, they mistrust her and carry her as a prisoner for information. She can't return to her dark lord because she has failed in her mission. When a servant is compromised (taken by the enemy) they are now banned from returning to the home city, necropolis. She befriends the rebels and learns that the Dark Lord captured and killed her family.She returns to kill him.
I think the main dark lord she serves name starts with a S. Sarkan, or maybe a Zarkan? Zarkis And he's vampiric i believe.
Plot 2:
This girl who i think was abandoned, or her family was killed befriended an old man who taught her and took care of her. When he dies, I think of old age she leaves and comes upon some guys that are attacking a black horse who is trying to protect it's foal. Apparently in this world the black horses are called valerians? Valans? Falkrans? something like that. They are considered to be evil by some, and are therefore hunted.
But she rescues them and befriends them... the rest of the book i forget.
