Jhereg (Vlad Taltos #1)
by Steven BrustThere are many ways for a young man with quick wits and a quick sword to advance in this world. Vlad Taltos chose the route of the assassin.

The second was his constant companion, a young jhereg, its leathery wings and poisonous teeth always at Vlad's command, its alien mind psionically linked with his own. Vlad has never regretted the sorcerous bargain he made with his jhereg's mother: "I offer it my friendship. I ask for aid in my endeavors. I ask for its wisdom, and I ask for its friendship".
