The Nightfall series follows Sudian, a notorious thief and assassin who operates under the name Nightfall. The Legend of Nightfall introduces him as a man magically enslaved to protect a well-meaning but dangerously naive prince — a setup that forces a hardened criminal into the role of reluctant guardian.

The Return of Nightfall picks up the story over a decade later (published in 2004, eleven years after the first book). The series includes related short fiction and an anthology appearance, rounding out a character who blends the rogue archetype with genuine moral complexity.
